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.

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?

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?
