Magnesium Chloride is the same form of magnesium naturally found in the

body. You can find it at http://www.painstresscenter.com at

1-. They have top quality stuff and are recommended by Dr

Sherry .

I use that plus sometimes I use magnesium citrate from

http://www.puritans.com Comes in capsules that work pretty quickly.

I just read this on the Real Tyroid Help Forum:

" Magnesium citrate or gluconate will be better absorbed and, thus,

have less effect on your bowels. Magnesium citrate is one of the

better-absorbed forms. "

Was it the powder to mix with water? I think it was called Natural Calm or

something like that. I tried it, and was up half the night going to the

bathroom. So now I'm just trying epsom salt after my shower.

I'm applying it while still in the shower. I turn the shower off and rub

some into my skin. Then I rinse off again since all of it doesn't completely

disolve. I figure if it is supposed to soak into the skin rinsing off any

residue won't hurt. I do't really know though, I just thought I'd try it to

see if it helped any. :-)

I've been eating almonds and almond butter too and I would love to not

take the mag citrate that I have been taking in the evenings b/c I

think that it upsets my stomach. It definitely loosens things up for

the next day which I don't mind, but my GI tends to be worse at night

and that is just one more insult that it doesn't need. So are the

almonds that strong in mag that I can get away with it? My mag lab

(RBC) wasn't high but it was right in the middle of the range. When I

was injecting the mag that my new doc gave me (they gave me this BMAG

pack that is a cocktail of .6ml of mag, .2ml of B-12 and .2ml of

B-Complex) I felt like crap after taking it and my local doc confirmed

that people usually do. New doc never warned me of that of course.

Oh, I thought you had to apply it and leave it on. After you've tried

this for a time, please let us know if it did help or not.

Well, I did mix some in a bowl of water and rub it into my skin without

rinsing it off one day as well. Honestly, I can't really tell that it is

doing anything, but that is usually par for the course. I figure I'm low in

just about everything else, so I'm probably low in mag. as well. Everything

I've read points to it being very hard to test accuarately, so I figure I'll

just use the epsom salts some and see if I can tell a diff. after awhile.

I started the CALM (magnesium citrate) two weeks ago and it seems to

have made a BIG difference for me. While I imagine my postive progress

is a result of everything I'm doing, this seems to be the kicker for me.

Since taking it, I have only had 1 big migraine, where I used to get

them almost daily. I have much fewer back and neck aches now and the

ones I had almost always led to a migraine. If you have any of these

issues, I would give it a try!

As far as the upset stomach..you have to find a dose that works for

you. Some people only need a little and some need more. You are to find

a dose that makes your bowels " comfortable loose " but that does not

give you diarreha. If your tummy gets sick, then cut the dose back

until you find what's good for you. I use 2 1/2 tsp. every night.

I got the NSI brand mag/citrate instead of the Natural Calm and I use

as little as 1tsp mixed in water and still get an upset stomach from

it. What time of day do you take it? One of my problems is that

evening around dinner and until I go to bed is the worst time of day

for me for GI upset - I think partially b/c of putting HC down there

all day and then the prednisolone at 7PM - so adding anything else

that is likely to cause stomach upset will - like mag. But then I

read that the best time to take it is at night. I guess that if I'm

deficient and I can tolerate it better earlier in the day I should

just take it then for the supplementation and forget about what good

it is supposed to be able to do for general calm and relaxation night.

2tsps upset my wife's stomach too.

Hi , I wasn't eating the almonds for the mag, but for the protein

which I'm not getting enough of due to bad digestion and all of the

other dietary restrictions that I have right now. I was hoping that

maybe I could kill two bird with one stone and get some mag that way

too. Almonds have been one of the few foods that I seem to be able to

tolerate, that I didn't test sensitive to, and that are a good source

of protein. Looks like there's a reason not to eat them either. I'm

not taking this out on you, but there seems to be a reason or more not

to eat everything but we have to eat something. Hopefully the oxalate

isn't causing me a problem.

Thanks,
