Why does a GLP-1 cause diarrhea (and why it alternates with constipation)?

GLP-1 diarrhea comes from the same slowdown that causes constipation, which is why the two so often take turns in the same week.

Magnesium and a GLP-1 work in different places, and the right form keeps water in the stool. Which form, how much and when to take it.

MiraLAX is not absorbed and does not stimulate the bowel; it keeps water in the stool, which is why prescribers often reach for it first.

Magnesium citrate keeps water inside the stool, exactly what a colon slowed by a GLP-1 needs. How much, when, and who should avoid it.

On a GLP-1 the magnesium form matters: citrate for the stool, glycinate for sleep and muscles, oxide mostly for the gut. Which to pick.
