    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

    Could be IBS or IBD too – assuming you’re getting enough fiber (which may or may not be true) with IBS adding more fiber does fuck-all (although probably won’t hurt), and with IBD actually often makes things worse

    edit: added note about needing enough fiber in the first place
