I picked up some Glycinate which is a very good kind.

This gives me lots of unpleasant gas, very smelly too. Sorry to be graphic.

This is embarrising and I dont feel any better because of it.

Does this mean that its not good for my body?
It does this every time I take it.
I know that the PRO-BIOTICS give gas because they are killing bacteria.

Is the mag killing bacteria?

Magnesium is good for muscles and the heart. From what I've been told, our bodies are very low in it.

I'm just teasing.. I know what this is like, especially around food changes, cleanses, stuff like that.

The kind of gas where people next to you take a couple steps to the right..
I used to sing with a choir in the city, and I "parted the waters" one Sunday..
There were five of us, two went one way and two the other..right in the middle of Eche Panis. Talk about problem gas! Like a punch in the face..
I was on a juice cleanse

I hope someone else knows more about Mag on this..

I do know it's a laxative..

How long have you been taking it? It could play out in just a little while..

What I would do (this just me) is I would try some psyllium husk in a smoothie later in the day, every day..while on the Mag.

That's a gentle way to kind of tune and clear "the area"..and may help also in working along with Mags laxative effect..and not too extreme at all.

I just get the besis psyllium husk, not a blend or capsule or anything fancy..and thow it in a yogurt smoothie with a Banana, Molasas (lots of minerals)..a scoop pf psyllium and a scoop of probiotics (I also throw 2 tblsps of green "Superfood" in there as well)..and I have this every day, usually later in the day.

Maybe something like that would help..
Only thing I can think of.

best,

Mo

Just a thought...

Acidophulis can cause the bad gas... espeically if it isn't "milk free".

Hope you smell better soon... BIG baboon...

uggggggggggggggg

However is my body even digesting it from the gas?

Its hard to tell.

---???---
has anyone ever taken something that was very gassy at first and then it stopped?
---???----

Before this magnesium I was taking magnesium oxide--)

same thing

lots of gas,,,,smelly

gave another reason not to be around people

Other then me constantlly complaining about my health,,or lack of it.

How are ya? ---hmm
you really want to know?

Ive been in a descending airplane for a year and feel like im being poisoned..hows that

But, if I eat a lot of breads my system will act up.

Have you tried keeping a food diary?

Linda

Not sure how it worked with you Mo, but I was "no more good"...I had always heard the saying it's as bad as a *art in Church..And I lost it completely..Had to even go out for a few minutes to try to get it together..Thank goodness, I knew the story or I wouldn't have gotten much out of the service.

Good point! I've taken it for years too, and no problems. [same with oxide] I'd be looking at my diet! [or a change in abx??]

If I take 1/3 rd I really dont get it.

Its not diet, happens every time I take the mag.

Does this go away eventually?

That's #1. Get your hands on some really, really good probiotics. You may need loading doses for several days. Important to take them one hour BEFORE meals with a full glass of water (so the stomach acids don't knock them off).

billions.

This rich protective coating of micro organisms acts in concert with the physical barrier provided by the cells lining the intestinal tract and other factors to provide the body with important filter-like protection.

So the addition of a pro-biotic might help my vertigo and chemical sensitivity.

Thanks.

Also this week Im going on a all protein diet. Nothing but eggs bacon and protein shakes,, on and a little oatmeal.

And if it has a product in it called FOS.

This is very acidic. The abx. make the system acidic.

Yes, ketones do INactivate PFK...however, must be very, very careful!

Too many acids harm healthy cells...esp. kidneys. This is why the original Atkins diet caused problems.

The kidneys maintain the acid-base balance. They will call for the minerals to be pulled out of storage to compensate...to maintain the blood pH.

I tried the mostly protein diet for a while to help clear out Candida. I ended up in the hospital dehudrated and in extreme ketosis. That is very serious. You must eat lots fo veggies - skip the fruit.

Bacon???? I don't think so. Check the packaging - lots of added sugar, unless you are buying organic, roght from the farm, uncured.

Yup, lots and lots of fluids. Try adding a sugar free electrolyte to your water. Acer makes one in little packets. It will help while on the mostly protein dite.

Take care.

A state of ketosis isn't very fun ( which can happen without carbs)

I don't care how much yeast I have personally, I won't completely cut out carbs. We weren't made that way, and we will get ill.

I also wanted to mention, I had vertigo 24/7 for five months straight. I couldn't tell if my arms were going forward, or backward, or if my feet were hitting the ground. I felt drunk, and felt like I was walking on bubbles.

Everything moved around me, and sometimes, I moved. When I closed my eyees, the inside of my brain moved. A doc argued with me and told me I didn't have vertigo, just dizziness. BS!!

I tried everything to get rid of it. Antivert, klonepam, transdermal patches I stuck behind my ears, valium, etc. Obviously, none of them worked or I wouldn't have had it for five months straight.

I did a chiropractor and in conjunction with that, I went to a wholistic doctor ( I didnt know what was wrong with me at the time) and tried some of his products, desperate enough.

Within a MONTH ( and Im not lying) on olive leaf extract, primadophilus, THORNE RESEARCH MEDI CLEAR ( read the ingredients on line, has MUCH needed stuff in it) and SeaSilver, and a chiropractor,

the vertigo ended and never returned. It came back once in a while during a herx, and I usually have morning DIZZINESS that does go away,

but this is what worked for me. And only what worked for me, but maybe its worth a shot?

I wasn't diagnosed with lyme at the time, but the doc did diagnose candida albicans ( and candida arabinose) via blood, urine, stool ( sorry) and tongue, and nose cultures.

I had yeast EVERYWHERE. Oddly, alot of my brain fog cleared up and still to this day, IF the brain fog comes back, I can clear it up with yeast treatment.

Ok, so anyways, I am completely off the subject, BUT

I do know this. If you have gut yeast ( which you may, I dont know) you are not utilizing your minerals, supplements, and EVEN antibiotics the proper way. Yeast makes it pretty hard to break down things to use the right way in the body.

This is usually done by missing digestive enzymes. Magnesium ( and quite a few other things, including food) did the SAME thign to me. You are not utilizing the right way.
It doesn't mean your body doesn't need it ( it more than likely does()

it just means your body is overpolluted with yeast and has no clue HOW to break down what you are giving it. That *Could** be the case.

I'm sorry, but as much as I am into lyme - because it's part of me, I found that alot of the symptoms you have,for *ME* were yeast related, and not lyme related.

But I definately did need the 18 months of abx that I took, or I would not be here.

It just got to the point, that I got so yeasty, my body was freaking out if I so much as took 125 mg of a pill. And it still does, so Im on a full fledged yeast war.

wanna join?
