I'm not C and I don't know anything about Milk of Magnesia, so my dog's not in this fight.

For the sake of any new D people, I just want to expand on your statement that, "In fact, SFS are non-stimulant laxatives." SFS can act like non-stimulant laxatives for people who are C, but they do NOT act that way for people who are D. That's why SFS are good for both C and D.

In quick and dirty terms: in people who are C, SFS pull more water into the bowel contents; in people who are D, SFS sop up the water already there.
