Traditional calcium/mag supplements use the OXIDE form for the magnesium. The oxide IS a laxative. I'd dump it if it is interfering with your other mag products. The long acting types like SlowMag cause much less if any looseness.
SlowMag has a generic (called Mag64) which is less $$. But WalMart has lowered the price of the SlowMag brand to $9.99 for 60, now.

Magnesium citrate is also a laxative, so be careful with it.
