magnesium oxide, is not absorbed into the body much (like other magnesium products) and is safer in general for use as a laxative.
Some people may find virgin olive oil-- about 2 tablespoonfuls daily -- also helpful. You can make a salad with it or whatever you choose. People on high dose opiates usually need more strength for laxatives. They make pastes from dates, figs, prunes as well and spread it on toast.
These are some of the safer alternatives to senna or magnesium citrate/phosphate products.
