Hey girl, I hope your day was an easy one. Magnesium Citrate is the stuff in the little glass bottle in the pharmacy section at Wal-Mart, etc. It's carbonated (so drink it cold and it's almost like a pop, which I haven't in years) and it's usually lemon lime flavor (mine was cherry)and it sells for like a buck or something. It's what they give people to clean out to get ready for a colon scope if you can't drink the nasty stuff they give you. It has directions on it to give to kids and adults who are constipated and for adults, the bottle can be a single serving- it's 10oz. It's not bad at all at first but tastes a little salty to me about half way through but still tolerable for sure. It's safe and cheap!
Carbs make me want to binge too. I never eat sugar either because when I do it flings a craving on me that takes a lot to go away. I stay away from all forms of sugar. If I have to sweeten anything I use stevia (used to use Splenda but Stevia is natural so it surely is safer?). By the way, my name is Lisa :)
