Current supplements: Magnesium glycinate 220mg (split from 440mg tablet)
I am normally constipated and it doesn't bother me. Recently however I experienced the opposite, loose stools 1-2 times in one day with urgent stomach cramping (the kind where you need to run to the bathroom immediately).Could magnesium glycinate 200mg cause this even though it's considered the gentlest form?
I cannot switch or replace my magnesium glycinate supplement. I want to understand what caused the sudden shift from my normal constipation to loose stools and urgent cramping, and what I can do to manage it without changing my supplement.
What timing or dietary changes can I make to prevent this without stopping or replacing my supplement? And should I be concerned?

I am a 31-year-old male. For the past 2 months, I have been experiencing constipation and difficulty passing stools. I get the urge to pass stool daily, but only a small amount comes out, and I often feel that my bowels are not completely emptied. The stool is usually hard, dry, and pellet-like (similar to goat stool). Sometimes I need to strain while passing stool.
I eat normal meals every day, drink around 3 liters of water daily, and regularly eat bananas. Despite these measures, my symptoms have not improved. I also completed one full bottle of Duphalac syrup, but it did not provide significant relief.
I am currently taking Flotral 10 mg for an enlarged prostate as prescribed by my urologist. I would like to know if this medication could be contributing to my constipation. I have also noticed occasional bad-smelling stools. Please advise on the possible cause, treatment, and whether I should consult a gastroenterologist.
