Milk Of Magnesian

[tabasco32]

does anyone know if milk of magnesia has gluten in it. I have been on it for 5 months because of severve constipation. And WHAT DOES fatty stool look like?

Fatty stools pretty much float. Stools that float are not good, the sinkers are a good sign.

I'll check on the M of M and get back if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Not positive, but I believe it is gluten free. Best to call the manufacturer to confirm. However, I know that Milk of Magnesia can affect the stool both in consistency and colour (can make it pale.)

my stools float all the time but only really started after taking milk of magnesia. They don't smell like stool either. THey smell rancid or something. I haven't been eating gluten for about 4 months either. I don't know why this is. I have chronic yeast though. THe slightess amount of sugar gives me discharge. Could It be leaky gut? I'm so fustrated and worried about all this. And I don't feel better being off gluten. I can't even smell chemicals or artificial sweeteners without discharge. ugh

For women, having discharge doesn't necessarily mean yeast. Some discharge during the month is normal, even discharge everyday can be normal...and the type of discharge changes throughout the month. Depends on your body and your cycle. Do no assume it is yeast or treat for it unless it's been confirmed by your doctor. Abnormal discharge can be due to bacterial infection or yeast overgrowth.

[my gyno says That I do have yeast. But why does the discharge only come out when I smell or eat something sweet. and in like seconds. I am 34 years old and since being sick I have not had a period in 3 months. I don't know. I suffer from iterstitial cystitis, in other words, bladder ulcers. Not a very health individual.
