Marnie,
I cannot take ANY magnesium IN any shape or form without getting diarrhoea. Yes, I have tried Glycynate and all other chelated forms.
I am very thin and when I tried IM shots, I very quickly ran out of buttock space! I was all bruised and very sore and i had to give up the shots as well.
I don't think it made any difference in how I felt anyway. Didn't help my bad arrhythmiae for example.

Nelly,

Have you tried magtab sr? I get diarrhea from every other kind of magnesium, but this has worked well for me..with no diarrhea. It's also a very good one to really work effectively in your body. Dr. B recommmends it as well.

just a suggestion..you may have already tried it. it's found in every drugstore over the counter.

Hi, new to the group, here's my first post!

I'm trying the Mag Tab SR and am having diarrhea problems with that myself.

Do the IM shots eliminate that side effect? ( I would think logically yes, but want to make sure).

Has anyone tried or seen or have any opinion on this product being sold on the web?

Natural Calm http://www.naturalcalm.net/product-description.shtml

It's an effervescent form of magnesium citrate. Normally that would not be a form that is very well absorbed, but they claim because it is in liquid form, it does absorb.

I have no idea if this would be true. How different is this from grinding up a pill and mixing it with water, I wonder?

Have you been on abx and taking probiotics - lots of them - all along?

Do you have a "leaky gut"?

How much Mg, how often "didn't make any difference"? Did you take a little B6 with each dose?

How are your other electrolytes...Ca, K, Na?

Lots of variables.
