      Oh it’s very often not constipation that causes those long shits when you have IBS or IBD, and a laxative is the last thing you’d want. Both do potentially cause constipation, but there’s better laxatives than magnesium – although apparently specifically with IBD magnesium might help with symptoms but we’re not talking laxative doses

        Idk I kinda liked those laxatives they gave me before my colonoscopy. Not eating and forcing down 3ltrs of foul liquid sucked, but afterwards I felt great!
