Conflicting Advice re: Magnesium       12/06/07 08:13 AM Edit Reply Quote renee21 Reged: 06/02/05 Posts: 486 Loc: Toronto, Ontario, Canada I have been taking Natural Calm for the past 1/2 year, find it really helps with my C. But I suffer from intestinal cramping on a pretty much constant basis. I went to a new GI last week - she hadn't heard of Natural Calm but told me to increase my magnesium with Milk of Magnesia. So I went to the HFS that day and asked the on-site naturopath about Milk of Magnesia. I told her I was currently taking Natural Calm. She said to stop taking it because magnesium will cause cramping. I stopped for a couple of days but felt super-C, so now I am back on it. It is so frustrating to get totally conflicting advice within a 24-hour period. Does magnesium cause cramping? Or it is a matter of finding the right dosage that encourages motility but not too much? -------------------- IBS-C, lots of spasm and trapped gas. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
