Answer 1

Take another glass of water.  It may not have reached your colon yet, more water may help.

Answer 2

epsom salt is a laxative which is not absorbed by the blood stream,so the danger of poisioning is not there,even if you take it in large quantities i.e an ounce of it.the mode of action is that it brings all the liver and bile juices to the intestine which finally causes rush of stools to r****m.It is good for removal of scum in the intestine.It liquifies bile also.

                                                                                       But dont use it regularly for constippation as overusage may develop tolerance in the gut against the salt and your constipation may aggravate even more.

                                             solution is better medicines like carboveg.(specially for ur farting problem).Take nux vomica 30 ,3 pills daily before going to sleep.

Answer 3

The more water you drink, the faster you'll go! I use epsom salts all the time, and drink lots of water, like 24 oz at a time. Works great.

Answer 4

I don't believe it will cause you any problems... Why do you think you would be in trouble.. I have taken it twice in a day.. And I did go.....and go
