I was jsut wondering how much Magnesium people buy and what kind to get. I can't find the Mag tab SR thats suggested by doctor B. Also what kind of acidophilus is the best? I have been taking 3 cullterelle a day and got a eyat infection. :-(

Please help I'm new at all of this.

I found Mag Tab to be the best. You can get it at Walmart, but it is usually behind the counter so you have to ask the pharmacist.

I also like Theralac for the stomach. I believe you can get it over the net, or some llmd's carry it in there office.

Good luck

This is the one I buy.

Source Naturals, Ultra-Mag
http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=1415

It has several of the kinds of mag that are easier for the gut to absorb.

Magnesium (as magnesium citrate, taurinate, glycinate, and succinate)

Heh, not that I'm cured or anything.

Seems like most agree that Mag Glycinate or Malate are best, but it's an opinion thing.

Probiotics - I take:

- Healthy Trinity by Natren
- Ultimate Flora by Renew Life

I also have some Theralac and some Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics 12 Plus, but haven't tried either yet.

Here's a link for the Dr. B magnesium

I use OptiFlora from Shaklee and Saccromyces for my gut.

The OptiFlora got me through nine months of IV Rocephin.

Lulu -- I have been using Pharmax probiotics and an obscure magnesium supplement called mapurit.

Breathwork -- of the many different probiotics, how did you happen to choose saccromyces? I noticed it at the store where I buy my probiotics and it sparked my interest for some reason.

LuLu,
You usually have to order Mag-Tab SR from the company. They are fast and nice to deal with. Niche pharmaceuticals.I take it because its the only one that doesnt give me diarrhea!
