Question regarding Magnesium supplement/constipation

[Guest guest]

Hi! I need some help. I have two questions:

I have begun supplementing my daughter's vitamins up to 100% in

biotin, magnesium (oxide)and she already was on a prescription

calcium supplement of 1.25GM. Now her magnesium and biotin are where

they should be, I guess.

1. On this site many successfully use a magnesium supplement in lieu

of a laxative, as calcium binds up children and magnesium eleviates

this. Is this magnesium oxide that is used? I have seen no change

in 's constipation issue with the amount of magnesium I have

added.... Is there a different magnesium I should be adding, or just

more of the magnesium oxide?

Thanks... vitamins and supplements are uncharted territory for me,

and I am floundering.

2. Began selenium with her, hoping she does not suffer hair loss.

She may already have started, or so it seems. How long after

starting the selenium does it take to see improvement???

Thanks to those who understand these things. We are having bloodwork

done this week and see the neuro next week. began the diet in

May. Are there any specifics I should be " tuned in " to at this point

and looking for? Problems, that is.

Thanks... , 's mumma (no seizures in 14 days!)
