RE: Re: Slow motility/magnesium

Hi all.

I ran across an interesting MD this last

week, she recommends not only magnesium but bathing in Epson salts to assist

with constipation. Some of my friends have tried it… ( one cup in the

bath…) and it seems to help their little ones tremendously.

Thanks - I agree that magnesium is excellent for

constipation, it worked wonders for my daughter -Kay but my granddaughter

problem is not constipation as such as her bowel motions themselves have always

been normal it's getting them through to pass through the gastrointestinal

tract that is the problem. It's as though the muscles are not working properly

in this area. However Anne has given me a terrific website on paediatric

motility disorders which is helping me to understand.
