I had just posted this earlier in another thread, but since I don't know how to link it, here is the copied version....
When I began IP, my provider gave me a question and answer sheet of things to expect as possible side effects and some solutions. One that was mentioned for this issue was taking a Tablespoon of Magnesium Citrate daily if you are prone to it and two Tablespoons if you were having a problem with it. I didn't have any problems for quite awhile, but eventually did and I began taking it daily in my morning Blueberry, Pomegranate, Cranberry drink and I've had no problem since.
I will offer one caution... the original bottle I got at Wal-Mart had sucrose in it which I didn't realize. I think it was 1gram of sugar for the entire 10 oz bottle, but still. My coach said it was okay because it was such a small quantity and I did have good weight loss that week. I went to Hy-Vee and discovered another brand, whose bottle looks almost identical, called "Good Neighbor Pharmacy" and it does not have sucrose in it.
Also, IP now has a laxative called Novi-Lax. I got a bottle of it, but haven't used it since I take the Magnesium Citrate which is like $1.30 a bottle and the bottle last the week.
