Magnesium Hydroxide
Magnesium hydroxide is a white, odorless powder found in over the counter medications such as Milk of Magnesia.  It is used on a short term basis to treat constipation.  It should be taken with a glass of water and stored in a tightly sealed container.  Milk of Magnesia is a better alternative than having to buy expensive prescription medicine.
