Re: Magnesium citrate - loose motion (Please help)

[Guest guest]

Mag citrate can loosen stool. I would half or more the dosage. If that doesn't

work after a few days i would try mag glycinate or mag malate.

Why did u start it?? Was he constipated??

When my son was about 3yo I found one of the better ways to insure magnesium

supplementation was via Epsom salt baths I would put half a cup or more at bed

time let him sit him for 20mins

I agree with Amit. I would start LOW and go slow. Start with even 50mg per day. Also agree to change to Mag glycinate if that doesn't help. I am also trying a topical Magnesium preparation (Ancient minerals). I will keep you all posted about my experiences. We had severe GI issues and could only do tiny amounts of oral Mag.Sylvia

You adjust as you go. For my daughter, who is constipated if I don't do

supplementation, depending on her stool consistency, we give between 150-300 mg

Mag Citrate (which includes Calcium) every day.

Of course, for her that's not enough. So, we also give 100 mg Mag Glycinate and

250 mg. Vit C every day. I do this just so we're safe and not giving too much of

any one thing. The poop consistency dictates the magnesium dosage.

Our doctor recommends that the magnesium be given just before bed. We found problems with motion before. We still get a lot in the morning but it is better. To: mb12valtrex Sent: Monday, February 18, 2013 8:50 AM Subject: Re: Magnesium citrate - loose motion (Please help)
