I took it at 1pm today (to prep for a colonoscopy tomorrow morning), and 7.5 hours later I still haven't had a bowel movement. I have tried to drink plenty of hot liquids (tea, coffee, broth), and all I've done is pee!

∙ 10y agoit is possible when taking any substance to cause what is known as a paradoxial reaction...where a substance causes the opposite effect of what it's intended to do. but i've not read of any case with magnesium causing constipations. Calcium yes. Products like milk of magnesia ...is sold because excess magnesium ..or magnesium in certain forms causes a laxative effect. My guess is that it's unrealated.

I don't know for sure, but I just started taking vitamin d tablets (one 400IU tablet daily, along with my multi-vit that contains another 400IU), and it seems that I've had more constipation than normal lately.
