Answer:
This is because it can reduce the amount of stomach acid while increasing water in the intestines. Magnesium hydroxide works by drawing water from the tissue around the bowel into the gut to 'flush' the contents out. The original form of milk of magnesia usually produces a bowel movement in 30 minutes to 6 hours

As the acidity is caused by the increase
In the hydrochloric acid In the stomach. The milk of magnesia is a base which neutralises the acid in the stomach.
( when acid and base come in contact with each other, both lose their nature. Which means acid loses its acidic nature and base its basic.)
