Very interesting indeed!  So for those, and there are many, who would rather

soak in it daily than take a pill daily, soaking is an option. I couldn't really

calculate how much epsom salt in how much water for how long was equivalent to

how many milligrams in pill form of elemental magnesium. Maybe there are other

needed nutrients that could be added to the bath and be absorbed by people who

have trouble swallowing or stomach or malabsorption problems.

Magnesium is more easily absorbed through the skin than through the GI tract,

apparently. You can get magnesium inexpensively and easily through Epsom salt

baths. There are also magnesium oil preparations made for applying to the skin

as a way to supplement.

Greetings,

Or, you can kill two birds with one stone. Use Milk of Magnesia instead

of chemical deodorants. It works really well, even for a dirt farmer in

Texas and our summers are a challenge.

If you have to take epsom salt baths because of constipation, you might want to

gear up to fermented veggies. Fermented cabbage (sauerkraut) and other

fermented veggies deliver a lot more than an epsom salt bath, are more

convenient, are more natural, are more paleo, and are just plain wonderful.

Epsom salt baths don’t cause diarrhea because it doesn’t go into the GI

system. If taken orally, it will act as a laxative.

It absorbs directly into the bloodstream through the skin.

There is, of course, the fart factor to consider unless you live alone.

Greetings,

As with any change in diet, start small and gradually work up to

reasonable amounts. Ask any farmer, a sudden change in diet can kill

any member of the animal kingdom, us included.

Causing some diarrhea when someone is chronically and severely constipated would

be welcome relief. If someone was to absorb too much magnesium and cause

diarrhea, they are only to back off slightly on the amount and that is where

they should be. The RDA is deliberately too low and causes deficiencies.

Re: constipation

That's the first I've heard of that! Through the skin? Wouldn't bathing in

it risk diarrhea then? I know that consuming too much too fast will flush it

right back out along with your last few meals. Epsom salt is a common laxative.

Magnesium can be absorbed well with the right type at the right dose, preferably

in more than one dose. Magnesium citrate, the same Citrate of Magnesium, at 250

or 300 mg twice a day is good.

" Kefir contains around 12 mg of magnesium per 100 g, or about 3.5 fluid

oz., of the drink. It is also a good source of vitamins B-1 and B-12,

biotin, calcium, folic acid, vitamin K and phosphorus. There is a

smaller amount of lactose in kefir compared to regular milk, which may

be beneficial for individuals with lactose intolerance. "

Re: constipation

Heck Yeah, guys,

But how much magnesium, again--I may have missed this-- does KEFIR contain--I'm

trying desperately to make this thread appropriate for a " Good-Kefir-Grains? "

The dose would be different for each person. Some people need more than others

because of malabsorbtion. I would prefer the topical Magnesium Oil than Epsom

salts, which I've heard can be contaminated.

Milk of Magnesia has chemicals in it. It's not a natural source of magnesium

and is in the wrong form.

The gassiness, the way I understand is only temporary until your body gets used

to it.
