Anyone with kidney disease should discuss magnesium use safety with their doctor.
For someone with colitis, it might be easier to use a topical form of magnesium, since magnesium is often stimulating to bowel function and transit. People differ in their reactions to magnesium oral, so you'll just have to try and see if it works without causing further diarrhea.
You can get magnesium from certain foods, and that is also gentler than oral supplements.
