Re mannitol — I’d be surprised if it caused constipation. Mannitol is a poorly absorbed sugar, which means that much of what you swallow remains in the intestine. It then pulls water into the intestine, resulting in softer stool. I.e., it’s an “osmotic laxative”, if you take enough of it. For me, I find that a tablespoon has that effect.
