Oh, no, no, no, NO! Epsom salt is NOT recommended if you might have SIBO. Also, enema? What is in, 1850? You need to be building your microbiome, not potentially harming it with things like Epsom salt or enemas! That's why some alternative practitioners are telling people with severe digestive problems, ABSOLUTELY NO COLONOSCOPIES because the "clean out" can destroy what little microbiome you have left!
Magnesium might be okay. I'd do it in a LIQUID FORM but don't treat the wrong "side' of your illness, address the microbiome and nutrition (Don't forget the "alphabet" vitamins, especially the B vitamins (without which, you can't properly use other vitamins) and ALL minerals. But constipation is a sign of an microbiome imbalance!
