What Is The Reason For Sudden Problem In Bowel Movement?

I take 2 mag-ox pills every night at bedtime with a banana & a glass of water. It makes my bowels somewhat loose, but tolerable. Today I had several small hard bowel movements. After dinner I had pain in my abdomen--felt very gassy, or worse. Eventually I threw up my whole dinner. Nothing wrong with the food, as my husband ate the same food, only more. I did not feel a lot better. Did have one more BM, which was small, but looked normal & was not hard. Finally to my question. I want to take mag-ox now at bed-time, but I am afraid to eat the banana (or anything). Can I take it without food although I was told to take it with food?

Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

You have problem of bowel movenent that mostly because of mag ox tablets.
Mag ox is magnesium oxide that can act a laxative. You are taking banana so that cause change a Stool consistency.

You don't mention that why are you taking mag ox tablate .Mention a reason also.

Avoid fatty foods and furmented foods.
Avoid gaseous foods like cabbage, cauliflower, onion,turnip,broccoli. ..etc.
Drink more water.
Chew a food properly.

Consent a gastroenterologist for further treatment.
I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
Take care.
Thanks.
