[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 354049, member: 1233"] Oh I knew what was going to happen as soon as you said magnesium! I am so sensitive to it that even a fourth of that 250 mg tab would have me in the bathroom for a day. Way back before thank you I tried this one and spend days in the bathroom because my doctor tried to tell me that my body would "adjust" in about 24-48 hours. Hah! He was WRONG!! I have never had so much trouble sitting down in my life - not even after giving birth!!! Magnesium malate does help some people. It can also help with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia symptoms. The malate version is less likely to cause the frequent bathroom stops for most people. I have heard that magnesium glycinate is less likely to cause bowel issues also. However (ya just KNEW there was a "however", didn't ya?), the bowel problem is a sign that you are taking too much magnesium. Your body is just eliminating the extra mag. I have heard that taking it for a while at levels that cause bowel problems can result in too much acid in the waste and it will burn your bottom on the way out. It really hurts from what I understand. The general recommendation is to back off the magnesium dosage just to where you don't have the bathroom problem. It should still help at that level. Maybe try 1 tab a day and increase gradually until you find "your" level. Not everyone needs 650 mg to help their migraines. I am glad you are on track to find something that helps! [/QUOTE]
