Constipation, or irregularity, is a condition in which stools pass more slowly than usual through the bowels (intestines), occurring when too much water is removed from the stools, becoming hardened. A variety of factors may contribute to constipation, including dehydration, lack of sufficient fiber, low physical activity, and diet changes. Phillips’ has been a trusted brand for over 150 years.

This stuff is great. I was in the hospital for about a week and when I came home I had constipation for about 3 weeks! Nothing worked!! (and I tried a lot of things). But when I tried this, it was amazing. Caution though -- start with a small amount (like a table spoon). DO NOT start with a cupful! ;-)

As a chronically constipated girlie for the past 2 years out of no where, this is some of the best stuff I’ve tried. It’s INSTANT. if I take close to the full amount my tummy is bubbling within about an hour. I will have liquid for a few hours but nothing feels better than draining a backed up system so I’ll take what I can get. Stay close to a restroom though.

This stuff works! No pain no discomfort just relief. Try it out you can’t go wrong for the price. Had my first bowl movement only 15 minutes after taking it. Very subtle not like other laxatives I’ve heard about.

Growing up Mama would give me Milk of Magnesia (MOM) from time to time. It was thick, and had a minty taste and you had to shake it up because it settled. Today, its water that tastes like fish, which is not the original flavor at all. Honestly I think eating a thick bacon sandwich and having a large cup of black coffee, with a ice cold Topo Chico works better for constipation. Its almost a Roto-Rooter for your Tooter.

I read all the other reviews and started with 30ml to be safe. Within 15 minutes - success! No cramping or discomfort (from the medication anyway- the movement itself was rough). The cherry flavor is not bad at all compared to what some of the reviews said. I did read that the original is worse. Would absolutely recommend. Can’t believe how quickly it worked for me.

Fast acting . It says cramp free but it gave me cramps once it really started to kick in over an hour later. I struggled with severe bloating and abdominal pain ,and I could not poop , just full and discomfort for about 4 days. The pain was so bad it was affecting my sleep and I didn’t care to eat . . I wanted something anything so I picked this up . After I took it about 30 minutes in I started to pass gas then I had soft bowl movement then another. And hour or so pass and I have full blown diarrhea! I didn’t expect that and it didn’t stop for a few hours but man my stomach pain was stopping and my bloating was going down as well . Light pain next morning but I feel so much better. And lighter . Definitely take the full cup if it’s been days since you had a poop and you’re in pain . It will flush you out .

My mom needed to use this while on hospice care and she was thrilled that it didn't taste like chalk and it worked efficiently and effectively. It wasn't harsh and it did what it was supposed to do. I highly recommend having this on hand for anyone who may be dealing with constipation issues. It truly works!
