Natural calm. . .magnesium -- hurts stomach?
My dd has tons of tummy issues - we believe related to leaky gut. Natural calm (magnesium) has been very helpful in getting her to have regular BM's but now she's getting a tummy ache :-/ just right when she takes it (at night). In the morning she wakes up fine. . . I wonder if she just gets a little bloated from it. Because when I took it, I got burpy and bloated so I never took it again. Since I wanted to try it for the calming affect, I just stopped taking it.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there a solution -- like maybe going to pill form of magnesium? Or should I not worry since it's just RIGHT when she takes it |

Hubby refuses. I'll take it if I have a neck spasm.

Instead of Natural Calm, I usually take his Cal/Mag. It has less magnesium per dose, and also has calcium.
With magnesium being a muscle relaxer, it makes sense there's be tummy issues. Have you tried reducing the amount for a little while? |

yes, I couldn't stomach it. I just take cal/mag in pill form even though I have to swallow so many pills. |
Re: Natural calm. . .magnesium -- hurts stomach?
Interesting.....I never had any tummy problems when I took it, but I also never took it regularly really, just in spurts (when I remembered, LOL).

I've never had any problems. It worked wonders for the braxton hicks that took my breath away and woke me at night. I still take it and haven't had problems. My kids haven't either.
We get a lot of dietary calcium, maybe that's why? Does she take it w/ meals or on an empty stomach? Posted via Mobile Device |

Yeah, it turns us into "insta-gurgle" in the belly. :(

Can you just do 1/2?
|
Re: Natural calm. . .magnesium -- hurts stomach?
At first it wasn't bothering her at all :shrug3 As soon as her bm's got considerably softer, I backed off to a 1/2 dose. On that 1/2 dose is when her tummy started hurting. I definitely know what she means because I feel exactly how zak described . . . that insta gurgle!
Right now, we are doing none and I have started clay at night for her after hearing people talk about clay healing leaky gut :pray4 It's always like a merry go round with her tummy :doh |
Re: Natural calm. . .magnesium -- hurts stomach?
That's odd that it didn't hurt at first but now it does. I think it's good that you stopped -good to listen to her body - hope she feels better soon
