We use Gillhams Calm Magnesium regularly. It works in about 3-6 hours the

first time - works great in lemonade, oj, anything slightly sour. We also us

Pedialax glycerin suppositories on the other end, they work in 10 -30 seconds.

Sometimes it's not the top end, but the muscles have atrophied and cannot push.

Suppositories put pressure to help the pushing.Sorry. That's how our DAN!

described it to us.

Hope this helps,

USRDA is 400mg, so you really are not giving that much.

If he is still having problems, you might need to increase it more, or magnesium

deficiency might not be the cause of the constipation.

Too much magnesium geenrally causes diarrhea. Try increasing the yeast

protocol, see if that is the problem.

Give him papaya and papaya tea. Crush seeds put them in water overnight and

drained it with a coffe filter. It should look like a chamomile tea. laura

just started epsom salt baths too. I'm thinking about trying a mag cream as

well.
