Nikon D200 + Nikkor 85mm at f/1.4

From the “Too Much Information!” file...

I'd been a bit under the weather lately because, er, my plumbing had been stopped up (more bluntly: constipation), until Mom thought of something she'd used 40+ years ago: magnesium citrate.

An adult my size takes a dose of one bottle (10 ounces). We picked one up yesterday afternoon for just $0.99 plus tax, but it was worth its weight in gold.

I drank the whole bottle of the sour lemony stuff, then a large glass of water, and waited. Four hours later, it made itself known during a short but entirely effective trip to the bathroom. I'll spare you further details, but I'm feeling much better today.

It continues to work a bit for the next day, but otherwise doesn't have much residual effect, so it really seems to be an ideal cure. I thought others might wish to know so that they can keep it in mind for their own future needs.

This was my first (and hopefully last) bout with constipation, but rest assured that I'll keep you updated with more details, should they present themselves. 🙂

(By the way, the “U.S.P.” after the name on the label stands for “United States Pharmacopeia.”)
