No. If only a small amount say a teaspoonfull is ingested it may make one's bowel movements easier to pass but if a large amount say a cup full then looseness of the stools or even diarrhea could occur. Liquid parrafin is a lubricant not an osmotic laxative such as mag sulf or irritant purgative such as Castor Oil or Senna or a Stool Softner such as Dulcolax.
