I have IBS-D, so anything with extra magnesium in it exacerbates D symptoms for me. I take a liquid multi-vitamin daily and I personally avoid anything further orally that has added magnesium in it... like 'think Milk of Magnesia'! Who needs an added laxative when they've already got the 'runs' or a tendency towards that?

Magnesium might be helpful for those with IBS-C, though could also create a nightmare for those of us with IBS-D. Magnesium is a LAXATIVE.

I do enjoy a warm soak in the bathtub with Epsom Salts now and then (magnesium salts), though I don't react internally for having done so. This sure does soothe aches and pains, relax the body, and make the skin feel soft.
