Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Coming in late on this thread - has anyone mentioned magnesium citrate? Generally much needed by hypoTs anyway and 400 mg at night helps with sleep and some movement in the morning Mo My daughter has tried spatone and its no where near strong enough.She was taking huge amounts of gentle iron and it done nothing for her either.she also drinks at least 2 litres of water a day and that doesnt make anything happen either. > > > > ferrous sulphate causes constipation .gp,s like to prescribe it because it,s cheap!say no more.Go back to gp and ask for some spatone sachets which are easily absorbed and don,t cause constipation or nausea.if lactulose is ineffectiveincrease fluid intake and try some syrup of figs. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hi Sharon, lactulose sounds as if is is sugar, but isn't, it's natural, but it has a very different effect! works quite efficiently, though you may need more than one dose to get things moving. thyroid treatment From: sprog1967@...Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:29:41 -0700Subject: Re: re constipation Hi Heidi, My daughter has tried spatone and its no where near strong enough.She was taking huge amounts of gentle iron and it done nothing for her either.she also drinks at least 2 litres of water a day and that doesnt make anything happen either.

If its a sweetener then I wouldnt be happy about given that to her,as sweeteners are seriously bad for you as they are just chemicals.I dont like her taking more than 2 soluble vit C a day as they have sweeteners in them. .
