Hi, Dee, I really was behind on replies! I am wondering what kind of magnesium you are using. There have been some interesting messages about magnesium chloride recently. I am using a tablespoon of Milk of Magnesia 3 times a day, sometimes two tablespoons at one of the 3 times. Also take a stool softener. I think that the stool softener bothers my upper problems , though. Am debating about whether or not to try a different form of magnesia. I am also concerned about whether or not the magnesium may upset the balance between calcium and magnesium in my system. Had my calcium tested a couple of weeks ago and it was normal. However, I was not given the figures, only told it was normal. And so often, as with the thyroid things, what is listed as normal is really at the edge of being too low.Come to think of it, the Dr. did say it was on the edge of being too high. My faulty memory. There are just too many aspects of the various possible treatments. I will be interested in hearing how you fare on the magnesium treatment. Thanks, Ruth<html><div>From Ruth Strackbein</div></html>

I am glad that things seem to be a little better for you, although as you say, not quite completely better. I hope things continue to improve and you find the thing that works without having to resort to surgery. I too have a similar although not nearly so severe, problem as you. i.e. Constipation, and nothing seems to get rid of it. I have tried the whey and inulin but no luck so far. I am now upping my dose of magnesium as Duncan said that can help. It is such a nuisance having to continuously take things like Senocot which even that, sometimes doesn't work. I am a bit peculiar in that things like fibre, fruit, etc., just make it worse, so I don't know what the answer is. Anyway, I do hope your problem continues to improve, and you know we are all with you.

I appreciate your message, I know Charles and the others mean well, but I just cannot go in many directions at once. Different ones on this list have very different ideas of what may be basically wrong with me and they may all be partially right or entirely right, or all wrong. _________________________________________________________________ Help yourself to FREE treats served up daily at the Messenger Café.
