Beware ⚠️ Magnesium for Constipation!

Magnesium is a popular supplement for constipation. Whether it be Magnesium citrate, Magnesium Oxide, or another form of the mineral one thing is for sure- Magnesium will help you poop! But, is it possible to over-do it on this supplement? And if so, how do you determine how much Magnesium you actually need to take? Thankfully, I'll explain it all in this video!

When I was eating fiber no amount of magnesium would help me poop

Magnesium 350 mg a day has helped my gastroparisis from methane sibo.

A small scoop of magnesium oxide before bedtime has proved beneficial. I also make sure to take adequate calcium citrate and a multiple with minerals to make sure I have sufficient minerals and Vitamin D3 every day which many practitioners recommend for overall health and well-being.

Yup....fiber makes constipation horrible for me

So, Dear Dr DiNezza, what is the best solution for chronic constipation. I am suffering from a long time. Fibers not work. using laxatives, nothing work. what food is good and what not. please let us know

Magnesium does absolutely nothing for me when it comes to the bathroom

[estrellarizo]

Love it, information she is correct 👍

Fiber only helps me to a certain point, and past that it makes my constipation worse. Probiotics don't help at all, I guess because my problem is a motility issue. Miralax doesn't work as well as Magnesium, and it has more side effects. I take 1200mg of magnesium citrate a day. Do you think this is in the danger zone?

Do you have an email or way to contact before signing up for the fodmap freedom course? My situation is complex incl longterm pain meds for chronic pain and pred.

Is there a balance that has to be found if you are working on magnesium deficiency, and can a healthy diet balance out magnesium induced dysbiosis?

[richardschlung]

I have Bowel Defecation, can you take Triphala every day?

It works great but it caused me so much gut inflammation that everything I ate or drank felt like I was drinking acid. I also get sooo lethargic after 3 days of even topical magnesium. I have the same gut issues with cascara, milk of magnesia, aloe and pretty much everything that works lol

[aprildawn]

I incidentally noticed that sometimes I felt better when I didn't take magnesium oxide at night. I think that I was probably depleting my iron levels, especially once a month. I feel much better when I skip a few nights.

ALL Pharmaceutical meds, reduce mineral and Vitamin absorption.
Would one need to consider this ?

[gmartinez]

Do you think Magnesium Glycinate 100mg daily for a 9 yr old is too much?

[hayliemorris]

I just downloaded that tracking app but I can't see where it tells me magnesium

[nancysmith-baker]

For a while .

[nataliemammitzsch]

Do you have any videos for people missing their small bowel/cecum area due to Crohn’s and the issues that can arise? I think I have bile acid malabsorption as well as fat malabsorption 😑What do I do??? 🙏

[hotwireman]

I take it for weird charlie horse-like cramp pain under my left ribs. It's gone within 5 minutes of taking it. I get them whenever I am eating super low carb

[janedough]

This is why I have ceased the use of all supplements. I eat a Real Food diet and that will have to do.
