Marnie,

Being our resident expert on magnesium, I wondered if you have any idea whether either the gallbladder or liver might be more sensitive to magnesium?

I've noticed burning pain under my right ribcage lately when I take magnesium.

Have done tests, but they haven't revealed the reason. Dr says maybe rocephin damaged gallbladder, or maybe ketek inflamed liver.

Any idea whether a liver or gallbladder might be more likely to react to magnesium when irritated -- or any other organ in that part of the body?

Thank you for all you share.

In the search window, type in these words: gall bladder magnesium

And then another search typing in: gall bladder peppermint

Likely causing gall bladder to contract...to dump.

Not nec. a bad thing since we don't want it to get "sludgy" and bile salts (made by the liver, stored in the gall bladder and dumped when we eat something fatty) do chelate (remove) bad metals...at least they are supposed to!

Peppermint tea might help...in more ways than one.

Consider also lowering the dose. Less more often is better anyway.

Try to save your gallbladder if at all possible. We need our organs!

There are meds one can take to dissolve stones, but they do take time to work.

Hi, tempe,

I have the same consistant pain as you described and I am alos on Ketek and Magnesium.

Before Ketek I had taken Magnesium for awhile, so the pain may be come from Ketek and the Ketek/Magnesium combination.

Ketek can cause live damage? They suspected this before after a patient who was on Ketek died.
