A member asked:

Is it ok to take 1tbs of milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) nightly to maintain regularity?are there any dangers or downsides as it seems fine. i have a redundant colon

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably safe: Of all the OTC laxatives, MOM is quite non toxic so long as you follow the recommended dose and have no kidney excretion issues. Fiber, exercise and sufficient fluids are also recommended :)
