On the topic of healthy gut - it is super important to ensure at the very least 1-2 bowel movements per day which is crucial for long term health!!
BUT PLEASE do not use restoralax or any product that has Polyethylene Glycol 3350 (PEG 3350) to help constipation!! It is a synthetic made from PETROLEUM products and simply not healthy whatsoever.
Cons
✖ Synthetic (petroleum-derived compound)
✖ Does not nourish or support gut lining
✖ Can cause bloating or gas
✖ Long-term reliance may reduce natural motility
✖ Doesn’t address root causes (microbiome, magnesium deficiency, stress, dehydration)
Magnesium on the other hand is a healthy,
Wonderful option and most people are magnesium deficient. There are also magnesium chews for kids. We should ALL be taking magnesium.
Magnesium Citrate is the specific type that helps also with constipation
How it Works
• Magnesium pulls water into intestines
• Also relaxes smooth muscle
• Stimulates bowel movement
• Often works within 30 minutes to 6 hours (higher doses)
Pros
✔ Provides magnesium (a nutrient many are deficient in)
✔ Helps relax muscles (including bowel)
✔ Can reduce cramping
✔ Supports nervous system & stress response
✔ May help with headaches, PMS, muscle tension
Also do not use SENNA for long periods as this could also make your bowel “lazy” and become dependent on it. There are amazing options that are safe for everyday use, if needed, but of course healing the fit is the best option.
