I’m glad the Miralax worked for you. It caused cramping for me 😆. But I have POTS and visceral sensitivity so that could be why.

I take the magnesium citrate supplement, so in a capsule or tablet form, which is much less concentrated and intended to be used as a dietary supplement. But you’re right, the liquid form is a very strong laxative and not meant to be used regularly.

I’ve taken magnesium glycinate for sleep. I didn’t notice too much of a difference. My dietician told me it doesn’t have as much of a laxative effect because of the way it’s formulated whereas magnesium citrate draws more water into the colon, so that’s why it can help with constipation.
