Question about magnesium oxide in French sea salt

Post by WhirledPeas »

I just read the ingredients of my blue container of French sea salt and it says magnesium oxide as an anti-caking agent. Considering how much I'm struggling, I'm evaluating everything so I'm wondering if anyone has any comments about it. Of course it's never cause me any problems in the past but I'm very fragile right now. I have another container of sea salt that has no other ingredients that I can use. I've noticed it's hard to get out of the container because it doesn't have an anti-caking agent in it.

I'm starting to eat small amounts of turkey this afternoon and will again this evening since my liquid fast since Saturday 7 PM. Although I did have five bites of turkey last night but it wasn't very comfortable digesting it. Thank God no pain today just utter exhaustion after being on the phone and texting so much today on little food. I feel a little bit better after my second snack of turkey meat.

Anti-caking agents are usually a very small percent of the volume. Besides, magnesium in normal doses does not antagonize the gut — it heals the gut.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
