Guest guest Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Really? I know it can cause diarrhea, but that's not " improving gut motility " . If it really " improved gut motility " , I'd think my one of my GI docs would have prescribed it instead of the several brain barrier crossing drugs which are KNOWN to improve gut motility and the one medication that doesn't cross the brain barrier but had to be ordered from NZ because that's about 1/10 the cost of having it made at a compounding pharmacy and at least one antibiotic that " sometimes works for gut motility " . (I have gastroparesis and have tried everything short of the " pacemaker for the gut " .) So can you provide some documentation?

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Magnesium and gut motility. Maybe for someone who is constipated, it might help. But someone who is prone to diarrhea would find the laxative effect of magnesium to be a problem. Like someone else said, we do not have a cookie cutter condition. What works for me could be a huge problem for someone. Lately, I was bummed by the number and variety of meds and supplements I take just to get thru the day, and night. but, when I stray from what works, I start going downhill. I recently tried magnesium to drastic effects, for me at least. Even one dose of just 250mg, took me days to normalize from. I am still touchy and uncomfortable. Go figure. Hormone discussion. I have been lucky to find docs who get it. I take thyroid, bioidentical estrogen and progesterone. We retest blood evry 3-6 months, but the weight has not budged. Makes me wonder about the hgh then, and mast cell and what else that has not been connected yet. Hanna Sent from my phone. Please excse typos and short messages. Re: Re: incontinence/motility Really?

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 You know I used to think that if dietary supplements worked or herbal remedies worked, surely my docs would prescribe them also. They don't. They will even tell you that it doesn't work and you need some man made pill for every little thing. Since I went on herbal and dietary supplements for all of my 23 pills, with the exception of prozac. I am in 100% better health. I now have a natural doc as well. I have been seeing GI docs for YEARS about my constant stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. 4 scopes later, and being pronounced " healthy " , I saw an herbal remedy for it at whole foods, took it, and it worked. I have hydraentitis suppourtiva, a horribly disfiguring disease. I had two very painful and even more disfiguring surgeries, which FAILED completely. I went back to whole foods, got the herbal remedy for clear skin, and now suddenly I have ZERO HS lesions, as well as all of my autoimmune symptoms have disappeared. So doctors do not know jack about what actually does and does not work. They only know what their drug reps tell them. No, no one should be trying things without a doctors approval, but medical doctors, who do not receive training for natural meds too are at a severe disadvantage. They have no idea how much they are harming their patients. To: From: amschlerd@... Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:12:57 -0700 Subject: Re: Re: incontinence/motility Really?

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I agree with Sandy magnesium do improve motility, and with Dee that it can cause diarreah. It was one of the first medicines used in the history of medicine, you can buy Milk of magnesia for constipation, but if you drink a lot you will have diarreah. The problem when you are constipated is that it taste horrible, but I did not remember there are pills too so I am going to prove it, as I am so constipated that sometimes I think diarreah is better!!! Thank you Sandy for the suggestion. There is some interesting information about magnesium in Wikipedia, I did not know it has so many uses in our body, including again a close relationship with potasium, you should see it. There is also information about its´use in constipation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium De: Dee Holmes Responder a: < > Fecha: jueves 21 de junio de 2012 17:12 Para: < > Asunto: Re: Re: incontinence/motility Really?

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Causing diarrhea is a side effect. That is NOT " increasing motility " . Even natural sites tell you that if you're getting diarrhea, you should stop it after a while because you could develop issues with electrolytes. Increasing motility would be improving the movement of the muscles so that things actually moved naturally - not because there's so much water there's no choice. That's a subtle but very important difference. This difference is why my neuro - who *does* know about stuff like supplements actually specifically tells people to avoid magnesium oxide because all the other versions of magnesium supplements are better absorbed and *much* less likely to cause this particular side effect.
