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

Re: Natural calm. . .magnesium -- hurts stomach?
do you keep taking it and ignore the pain knowing it helps or quit taking it

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

Re: Natural calm. . .magnesium -- hurts stomach?
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?
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.

Re: Natural calm. . .magnesium -- hurts stomach?
At first it wasn't bothering her at all 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 It's always like a merry go round with her tummy
