Magnesium Citrate. A good product for this is Natural Calm. Help with

hyperactivity too.

Hi Melinda,

Anti-virals cause big-time yeast for my daughter. I did the high

dose Vit A, OLE, Sambucol and monolaurin heavy for a couple weeks

and we ended up with some nasty stuff...I called it the yeast beast.

Anyway...the yeast caused some major constipation as well for my dd.

Probiotics helped, GSE worked good and Uva Ursi worked great. Plus

the Nystatin. My daughter stays on Nystatin and the day after she

runs out she's yeasty. When chelation rounds approach I load up with

the natural stuff too.

As far as magnesium goes...I give Kirkman's magnesium glycinate 100

mg capsules. I've given as much as 600 mg in a day before I saw

loose stools. And Vitamin C...my DAN! said Beyond C by Longevity is

the best you can get in her opinion. It's expensive but it's

supposed to be good buffered pharmaceutical grade Vit C.

I too don't know the meaning of slow go...I want everything done

NOW! :) You're not alone. Hope this is helpful.

BLessings,

S.

Biotin needs magnesium for absorption, so if you give biotin without

magnesium, it can cause constipation. Try adding magnesium, rather

than decreasing it.

If there was smearing in her underwear, that can be a sign of

impaction. I would definitely increase magnesium.

> What kind of magnesium helps best with constipation?

Usually citrate, altho other forms can also work. I use amino acid

chelate, malate, citrate.

If you give magnesium with calcium, most of the magnesium will be used

by the calcium for proper absorption. Try giving just magnesium, and

at least two hours [preferably more] apart from calcium.

>>How do I know if vitamin c is buffered?

It will usually indicate it on the label.
