Aluminum hydroxide is generally safe for IBS patients; however, it may cause constipation or worsen these symptoms among those with IBS-C.
While aluminum hydroxide can help with acid issues in IBS patients, its use might lead to constipation, possibly intensifying IBS-C symptoms.
IBS patients can use aluminum hydroxide for acid-related issues with caution, as it may exacerbate constipation in those with IBS-C subtype.
