My experience is that the vast majority of time, even when people are taking what sounds like a large amount of magnesium, they're actually right where they wanted to be because they started deficient. And this magnesium is not really absorbed very well. So they end up actually somewhere in the middle of the range of where they're supposed to be, the desired range. So magnesium is the laxative.

Magnesium is the laxative. Yeah. And the way it works is by pulling water into the intestines to help to keep things moving through. So, and then what you do is once you're pooping, phase two is to sprinkle in the fiber supplement. The reason that I don't do the fiber supplement in phase one is because for some people who have pretty significant constipation, that can actually make it worse.

And then they have more bloating, they may even be more constipated, and then they curse my name and they say, Dr. B, you told me the fiber supplement and I'm feeling worse now. Okay, get the bowels moving first. Once the bowels are moving, then next comes the fiber supplement. And the fiber supplement helps you to keep them moving.

But let's get the lay of the land first, which is that in gastroenterology, it is standard medical care to include fiber supplements for this kind of issue. This is what we're trained to do. Psyllium husk is a classic. That's Metamucil. You can also look at alternative choices would be like there's Benefiber, which is wheat dextrin. There's Acacia fiber.
