Re: Where are the bacteria - magnesium

[Guest guest]

Regarding the parts below, does Magnesium Malate work just the same

as Magnesium citrate and do you know the average amount to try to

help with constipation? Probiotics cause me to loose weight and make

me very sick. I drink a lot of water and use fish oil, hemp oil,

coconut oil, and Evening Primose Oil for fats.

Any idea why some people only eliminate waste in the morning? Does

it have anything to do with not eating for a longer period of time?

Thanks for any help,

Christie

In cases where people are still having constipation issues,

increasing water, fats and magnesium citrate often helps. Another

issue in these cases might be poor digestion, which in that case the

person might want to look into digestive enzymes to help with

digestion.

probiotics can really help with this. Ever notice how often you poop

on a high carb diet?

constipation. That fat and water act as lubrication for all your

body's engine parts, including the bowel.

One more thing, is it better to increase Vitamin C instead of

Magnesium when having constipation/lack of bowel movements? Thanks

Hi. I would feel more comfortable increasing C because it's water-soluble.

If you increase too much magnesium you can deplete calcium levels.

On the other hand, taking C indirectly affects blood-clotting capability

(produces more E which depletes K), so you might have to make sure to get

plenty of vitamin K in your diet.

My opinion Christie is that vitamin C is more useful at bowel

tolerance doses than magnesium because antioxidants are so important.

That said, transit time is affected with fluid and inulin or another

soluble fiber that is also a fecal bulker/stool softener, as you

implied.

Thanks Duncan. I had about decided that myself on the Vit C versus

magnesium. I have not tried inulin yet. I had so many problems with

probiotics I've been afraid to ry inulin.
