No, it isnt. Otherwise you would get the runs after eating anything for which baking soda was used in baking process. I dont know whar exactly is baking soda (I suppose a sodium carbonate), but Epsom salt in Germany "Glaubersalz" was produced by Dr.Glauber first of slat and sulphuric acid (the other product of this is hydrocloric acid called "Salzsäure" - meaning salt acid - in German).

NO!!!!!!
Epsom Salt is Magnesium Sulfate.
It IS readily available in the US, because it has uses in relieving the swelling in sprains and strains. It is also used in gardening in some parts of the country.
The directions include use as an oral laxative but not as an enema. I never could stand to drink the stuff, but it does make a good enema!
Any drug store has it!
Just be careful, the difference between a strong purge, and an overdose is rather narrow!
