I m glad you are doing better. I slipped a few times, but I actually had no set backs during the christmas parties, because I took 1000 mg magnesium, broken down for each meal, plus three tablespoons of mineral oil before bed. I was surprised because I ate so much junk. However, after a few days of this high dose laxatives, I started feeling diarrhea like symptoms, which I don't like. So I have to reduce the magnesium and stop the mineral oil, but this is a good strategy if you attend a party, travel, etc. Mineral oil really lubricated the stool, but it is not a good idea to take it continuously because it coats the intestines and it prevents nutrients absorption, which is very important for healing. Do you get cramps from the dulcoease?. I only take magnesium because I am afraid of cramps and diarrhea from medicated laxatives.
