Beware ⚠️ Magnesium for Constipation!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- 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!

Magnesium helps me more than fiber
Yes it helps to relax body. I found it helpful as a good start to relax. I think it helps insulin spike but have to work on other things
Does it make your poop messy (too soft)?
Foods high in fiber block me!
Same here!! Fiber doesn’t make you poop more, it makes more poop. Horrible!
@@deelicious1610 Yep same problem here too plus with leaky gut-ibs plus histamine, it's near impossible to even find foods I CAN eat. It's very minimal
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.
which form, magnesium citrate?
@@allfly2689 correct magnesium citrate
Love it , information she is correct 👍
Magnesium does absolutely nothing for me when it comes to the bathroom
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.
ALL Pharmaceutical meds, reduce mineral and Vitamin absorption.
Would one need to consider this ?
Triphola works great for me!
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?
Are you drinking enough water/liquids? Even vit c can definitely help, most animals can make their own, and it increases in times of high stress. Sugar/glucose displaces vit c also, raising the requirements. 1200 mg as in the full dose but elemental magnesium of around 444 mg? My mg citrate is 1480 mg offering 444 mg elemental.
I don’t believe this is too much, it’s probably just enough to not be deficient, as that’s how most RDA was calculated back in the day. There’s a great site (or was?) acu-cell and it shows the interactions between minerals and vitamins. They usually go well in pairs and also can displace each other, like zinc and copper, for example.
And food anti nutrients can displace and hinder bioavailability of nutrients we require. Our bodies are like laboratories, I think 😂
It sounds dangerzone to me and I take tons of supplements.
This is why I have ceased the use of all supplements. I eat a Real Food diet and that will have to do.
That is where I am at as well. I am so tired of buying supplements for this that and the other thing. All these docs say something different and I don't know what to think about any of it anymore. So hopefully whole real food will be enough.
@@lynny5510 As an update, I have been taking cod liver oil. I feel like it’s still food, kind of, and I noticed that I feel good since using it. 🙂
@@janedough6575 Thanks for the info. How much do you take daily?
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?
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
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.
Did you feel fatigue on magnesium oxide? I also incidently realize it makes me really tired
@@JJChan-ur6zm It would sometimes, but I think maybe because it naturally relaxes muscles. I usually just took it before bed so that part didn't really bother me too much. I may have been a little draggier in the morning, but it's hard for me to tell. I have MCAS so I have lots of weird symptoms sometimes.
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??? 🙏
What are you eating? Have you tried fermented stuff like sauerkraut? It’s infinitely higher in probiotics than shop pills. And beef has a healing quality, liver particularly is the most nutrient dense food for humans, along with oysters.
Even in Ayurveda they prescribe meat sometimes. Are you under a lot of stress? You might need more vit c, as stress and glucose displaces it. Mint tea is great for messed up digestion. If you’re desperate, there’s poop transplants but you can try the other stuff first.
My digestion got completely messed up when I went through very high stress I couldn’t escape for a looong time (over 1 year, more like 3). It’s more or less ok now, when I follow my own advice 😂
Oh I forgot, bone broth is extremely healing, collagen peptides too. You can make it by cooking chicken or beef bones for many hrs, pressure cooker speeds it up. It’s very easy to digest and the nutrients are bioavailable. Do you eat a lot of plants? Cause they are great but can contain many anti nutrients and these can cause issues. It’s like the plant’s self defences.
Thankyou .it was working then it stopped .i have to stopp all suppliments
For a while .
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
Do you think Magnesium Glycinate 100mg daily for a 9 yr old is too much?
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
Check your electrolytes. Make sure you're getting enough mineral salt, potassium, calcium, mag. Usually early in morning I make my electrolyte in a small coffee mug of water & drink it down & my lower tummy starts girgling within 1/2 hour (and I'm having constip problems over a year now)
@@cinystarr4657 what is the ingredients of your electrolyte.
I have Bowel Defecation, can you take Triphala every day?
I use it on occasion for SIBO ..mag citrate
I just downloaded that tracking app but I can't see where it tells me magnesium
Is 400mg daily considered high
Men under 450 mg
way too much contradictions on the net with this topic
I use it for health, but I can only use half a pill or I will soon be running to the 🚽.
