Do Laxatives Cause Diarrhea?
I am taking Milk of Magnesia and Citrucel at my Dr's suggestion after a CT scan showed I have a great deal of stool in my colon and have been having some stomach discomfort. Having never used a laxative before I just want to know if the diarea I am now having is an expected and desired result. Thanks.
