Re: Magnesium Glycinate Question

[Guest guest]

Dorothy,

What foods are you feeding your son? What supplements are you giving?

Any other treatments at the same time? Any peanut butter?

Hi .....

Magnesium glycinate is a good form of magnesium..... IF you don't want to loosen

the stools at all. In other words, it's great for someone who already has

problems with looser BMs and doesn't want them any looser.

If you WANT a laxative effect, go with magnesium citrate.... or magnesium oxide.

What makes a supplement (magnesium or whatever) legal or not is the additives

that are included as fillers, if any. So, you just want to read your labels and

compare to the list on www.pecanbread.com under " Supplements " for the

legal/illegal supplement additives.

Magnesium Glycinate Question

Hi,

We use Magnesium Glycinate for our son - approximately 500mg per day. He is

also on a large dose of Kirkman's Vitamin C for constipation.

So far, both used daily aren't helping him with daily BMs. I realize we can

try other protocols (prune juice reduced, electrolyte drink, etc.) and we will.

Just wondering what others think about why the above dose of magnesium and

Vitamin C isn't producing daily BMs for him. He has a BM about every 2-3 days.

He's been on the SCD for about 6 weeks.

I remember something about Mag. Glycinate being legal for those on SCD but

that it wasn't good for constipation. If it's not, what magnesium is both legal

and good for constipation?

Thanks
