No I didn't know how often you can take them or what the dangers were- not really. I have been wanting to find out for a while. Since it is just magnesium it seems to be the best idea for a little "help". So I am happy to know this. I still will continue to take them when really needed. I had noticed 1/2 worked at one time then I took them some and ended up needing 2. Then I didn't take any for a while and now 1 is enough again. I think it says to take 2 on the box which seems way too high. My mom gave them to me and said not to take over 1/2 at first and I was glad she did!

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
