I don't trust the Wiki site, The Pharmacist was just concerned regarding the high dosage, She was very experienced and knew exactly what to tell me, She said,"especially women , like me at 51 and menopausal. The need for Magnesium with calcium and Vitamin D,should be for life."
But... she stated that, the Mg's, because its amount is so high(that's why it was behind the Pharmacy counter) can be used safely in short consecutive periods. Use it for as long as your stool is to bulky or thick then decrease stop then go back if needed later,She felt that I'm just not absorbing magnesium properly.
It can cause some nausea, (take with some food)headaches and don't overdose because it can be fatal. (but of course I hope your not ..lol)
But please for you if your concerned , still check with your Doctor, if its safe and OK for you to take:) and how many MG'S.
Well I took half of the 420MG Magnesium Oxide last night, After my Oatmeal with chopped/diced date, apple and prune breakfast my stool was smooth and loose, maybe to loose.
No pain or any tightness/spastic motions upon my first stool.
Now it could of been firmer, or more formed, but it was probably because I didn't(yesterday)Have any insoluble vegetables in the crisper, so I had very little insoluble, only soluble.
I went grocery shopping yesterday and picked up all my greens, kale, spinach, green apples, avocados and broccoli, I have other variety of veggies still in the fridge.
so time will tell.The time I got back from that shopping I was tired and still burning down there, but manageable, it was late so I went to bed and put the heating pad on (it has an auto shut off) and went to sleep.
Later I'm going to saute spinach with Kale, garlic and thinly slivered carrots, add at the end fresh basil from my garden, then make a dressing of pure virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, splash and a teaspoon of dejun mustard..yumm. add a protein, probably fish, Cant wait..Wait..that's a first..WOW, wanting to eat, when all that time we are afraid8) to eat because of our BM's..
Take care today every one, I'm going for a walk, it's a little rainy in Toronto. Ontario, will bring my umbrella, ella ella..
Your mood just lifts when your not in pain, I'm sure we all feel the same.
