Re: Just a thought!magnesium/motility issues

February 11, 2008

Hummmmmmm. You may be on to something there!!! I know that to get MOM

or much of anything with magnesium to work good for Hannah I have to

create diareah (or close to it) so that it basically flows out. She

never has good firm movements. It is either too soft or nothing. I

wonder, too, that maybe the mag is relaxing the muscle too much. Maybe

this is why her rectum is remaining open???? Today I switched to

Slippery Elm. I will give it in fairly high doses. I don't think this

will relax the colon but help keep things....slippery. I will continue

the aloe to help with motility and continue addressing yeast. I will

see what happens with the slippery elm. An intersting side note is

that SE can actually be eaten as a food so you can't give too much.

Plus the stuff actually taste good. Mixes well with yogurt.
