My GI and my regular doc both maintain that MOM is fine for daily use. All it is, is magnesium, which your body doesn't absorb well, which is why it comes out through your stool and makes a great stool softener. So, like fiber, it just passes through your system unused.
I haven't built up a tolerance to MOM. I switched to taking miralax, since it tastes better, but I use MOM if I'm out or on a trip or something. In fact, I had gotten pretty C (from my own carelessness) but I took some MOM last night and had a great big BM this morning. It's not a stimulant, it just softens the stools to let you go.
BTW, I've been taking MOM off and on for 1 1/2 years and haven't built up any tolerance to it.
