Brief Answer:
Please discontinue Magnesium citrate

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Magnesium citrate is a laxative and this is likely to be the reason for your loose motions. It is likely to stop when you discontinue Magnesium citrate.
You can get quicker symptomatic relief by taking a dose of imodium.
Do get back to me if you have further questions.
