Fruit is counterproductive for protein but it's not permanent - eggs and Greek yogurt tend to be the tolerant starting point when meat and nuts aren't working.

Magnesium citrate 300mg daily is the standard approach for sema constipation - gentler and more consistent than fiber.

Magnesium citrate daily is gentler than fiber for IBS-D - keeps things moving without the trigger.

A full obstruction at 5 weeks is the severe end of the constipation spectrum - it's a medical emergency that requires intervention rather than OTC management. Anyone experiencing that level of GI shutdown should go to urgent care rather than trying to manage it at home.

Mag07 is the next step when osmotic laxatives and fiber supplements have plateaued - the oxygen-based release mechanism is different from either and tends to produce results when the other options have not. Starting at the lower end of the dosage range and adjusting up is the right approach when switching.
