Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Can someone please suggest a starting dosage of magnesium for a 40 lb child? Also, should I give it in one dose or several throughout the day? And must magnesium be given with calcium? I see most magnesium supps have calcium. Thanks for input!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I started the Natto after this got bad....and it helped some but didn't take it away... My daughter never took Natto....I had my pains start about a month or so before hers...that is why this is too weird to me... Can't think of anything I am taking that would do this...was off supps for a bit...just got to the point where I couldn't gag em down...ya know....10 years of taking a million pills a day and just couldn't do it anymore...so figured I was needing something.... thanks for posting for me.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 That is something to think about...food allergies...have had a few new foods this past few months...summer times....fruits etc...am on thyroid meds and she's on iodine...so not thinking it is thyroid...but who knows.... thanks for posting for me.
