Hi, i've been taking natural calm magnesium & also having frequent anxiety attacks & nervousness early am with insomnia, can these cause loose stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Magnesium laxative: Magnesium is an old home remedy for anxiety, apathy, depression, headaches, insecurity, irritability, restlessness. However, magnesium is an active ingredient in Milk of Magnesia, (magnesium hydroxide) Magnesium citrate, & other laxatives. Your loose stool may be magnesium dose-dependent. Consider other causes however if persistent after curtailing magnesium use, & best see your provider about help with your anxiety.
