Ever taken epsom salts as a laxative?

I did it this morning. Took 6 teaspoons at 6 AM with a full glass of water and another glass of water to make sure it was going to be effective. I went back to bed and within a couple of hours I woke up with a very strong urge to go diarrhea. I ran to the toilet, sat down and had a huge explosive bowel movement. It came out like an enema and I was on the potty for nearly an hour. Each wave that came out was more watery liquid and it sounded like I was going pee. It's been 12 hours since I took the epsom salts and I still have diarrhea. If you're going to do this, make sure you don't have any plans for the day and you are very near a toilet. I actually really enjoyed this!

Yes, ¼ cup of epsom salts in 32 oz of water, followed by more water every 15-20 minutes until you explode…. doesn't taste very good, but VERY effective…

Yes, 4 teaspoons in a tall glass of water… drank it down… Agree, it doesn't taste very good… in 10 minutes, I drank another tall glass of water, waited another 10 minutes and drank a tall glass of water, another 10 minutes and another tall glass of water, and finally another glass of water 10 minutes later. So 1 laced with Epsom Salts and 4 glasses of water to wash down, 10 minutes apart. In 1 hour and 5 minutes the runs! LOL.. Diarrhea for a few hours and very cautious for the next few hours. Amazing clean out… I really kind of enjoyed! I will try again soon… I agree with Ebbie-Anne, If you're going to do this, make sure you don't have any plans for the day and you are very near a toilet. A good replacement for Citrate of Magnesium and much faster working, for me anyway!

Yes, Epsom Salt can be relied upon to produce wave after wave of very loose, sloppy poo within an hour or so. Once it starts to work, the laxative effect simply cannot be resisted. If you are dressed, odds are your clothes are going to get soiled with poo.

The full dose of Epsom Salt is very like a large volume enema, given by mouth. The urgency and results are very similar.

Nope, just in enemas.

Oooooh, I have to try your method. I only had a second 8 ounce glass of water after the 6 teaspoon dose. ¼ cup = 12 teaspoons which is twice the recommended dose and 32 ounces of water is 4 times as much! And more water! I am going to wait until I'm constipated and very full of poop. Thank you @littleamy19800 I will post my results, probably in a week or so in this thread.

I would like to take something orally to make me fill a diaper with semi solid poo, rather than a overload of slop, i usually push something up my bum to force a poo, either soap or suppositories, just felt like having something thats going to happen, but not too sure when.

Yes. I have used it as a laxative and found it effective. It has been a while, but I seem to recall using 4 teaspoons and the laxative action beginning about 4 hours later. The results closely resemble what I get from magnesium citrate when I can get that to work.

4 Tablespoons of Epsom Salts in a glass of warm water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach followed by a glass of cold water gives me violent watery diarrhea in about 45 minutes to an hour and several more bouts of watery diarrhea over the next few hours until there's nothing more left in my bowels to come out. It tastes awful but the glass of cold water after taking it gets rid of the bitter taste.

When my mother was told by her new doctor to stop giving me enemas she was told to start giving me oral laxatives …milk of magnesia, Castoria, Epsom Salt solution, etc. I personally did not like any of them. I can still taste Castoria .. Epsom salts solution did make me crap but it also made me sick to my stomach. I literally begged my Mother to start giving me enemas again
