Constipation

Post by Ares »

Hi ,
the first period of the zucchini and chicken diet slowly I went to the bathroom every day! but as I started taking 450 mg of magnesium I do not go anymore! can it be a coincidence? and may it be that maybe I have to eat more? I ate 2 raw carrots and three pieces of baked potato! Tonight I had a pain in the lower area on the right where I no longer have the slope, I thought it was an intestinal blockage! I had to do a clisma but it did not work as much as I hoped! What can I do to avoid being constipated and painful?

Magnesium does not cause constipation. Constipation is a symptom of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is a treatment for constipation. Too much magnesium causes diarhea. I have no idea what a clisma might be (I'm guessing it's a saline emma), but you can prevent constipation by using a stool softener that contains polyethylene glycol and glycerine. Or you can take either docusate sodium, or docusate calcium, but they're not as effective.

Two raw carrots could cause you pain. Raw vegetables are not our friend, even if you're constipated.

The type of magnesium you take makes a difference. Magnesium oxide could help with your problem but you wouldn't want to take it other than when you're constipated.

Double check the dosage requirements for the magnesium - some products you have take two of the tablets to get the 225mg dosage.

you may only be getting 225mg per day

additionally, double check the product label also for how much 'elemental magnesium' you are getting in each dosage. the tablets might be 225mg but it might be a lower amount of 'elemental magnesium'

Fo two capsules is

614 mg magnesium oxide
400 mg magnesium glicinate

Total magnesium intake 450 mg

225 mg caspule

Is strange if in caspule there is 225 mg and both magnesium how is possible that there is in 2 caspules all these mg

Product is magnesium Bodyathlon!

Pure magnesium powder is highly explosive, so all magnesium supplements have to be in the form of stable compounds with other chemicals. Therefore only a percentage of the compound is magnesium.

so you are currently taking 2 capsules per day getting 450mg of Magnesium??

if so this is just over the the minimum you need per day - to fix deficiency you need to take more than this each day for at least 12 weeks.

But dometimes I read is some post
The people do cicles about magnesium


In this magnesium there are 2 kind more stereate

But is good this magnesium I have take 3 capsules

And high value about blood test is possible iperprotein diet?

Why often to speak about histamine and microscopic colites

But take antihistamine tablet is good for Mc Lc and for my skin and for my digest and symptoms

400-450 is minimum daily intake

if you are deficient you need more ie 600 (or more) to FIX the deficiency - once the deficiency is fixed you can then go back to maintenance dose of around 400

things like coffee, some medications, some health issues like excess histamine, excess sugar use up more magnesium. so for some people their minimum per day is 500-600mg for quite a few months.

and given you are having histamine issues, headaches and constipation - these are all strong indicators that you need More magnesium that you are currently taking.

another good resource that is in italian is the Dr Carolyn Dean book

Thanks gabes

But if I do blood test ( it is possible that my magnesium is ok) but is not really right if in bloog is ok , right?

Tex don’t known about his shortage he discovered next many time

Is it possible that blood test is ok but Intestine or all body is shortage?

But my big question is why many have D and I have C
If youeat and you have D you understand that food is not ok
But for me is not so “easy”
I have gas also if I eat right diet because I don t go in bath regular
How I can understand when foos is good or not?
But for many people. Cure is don t run in bath

But also if I go in bath regular I have the same problems :(
And Which the difference to count lymphocytes cell in slide and not count them?
