Countering the laxative effects of magnesium
Hey folks!
I'm a fellow fibro sufferer and I have been trying lots of different things to try and cope with this illness.
One of the most effective trials I've conducted was to increase my dosage of magnesium and add malic acid. It worked wonders on my pain, stiffness and energy levels. However, now that I've been taking these super high doses of mag, I'm now experiencing extremely loose stools. I've begun to lower my dose of mag, but anything lower than what I was taking (total of 2000mg, split into 3 doses) the pain and stiffness come back immediately.
Does anyone know of anything that will counter the laxative effects of magnesium while still being able to take high doses? I've tried doing some research and haven't found anything yet.
Thanks, in advance!
