Yes: The color of BM depends on the food you ate. Do you have brown BM at other times? I take it everything else is normal and you have no pain. Mag Citrate is an osmotic laxative which makes you have a BM. If what you ate is yellow, or usually yellow colored that's what will come out. Sounds like the plumbing so to speak is working correctly. The med did its job.
