I ruined years of my life treating with doctors and trying to figure out how to treat my IBS,
After trying LInzess, the FODMAP diet, and having to stand because my abdomen hurt too much when sitting, I discovered with a little magnesium my symptoms were completely cured and I NO LONGER HAVE IBS OR ANY SYMPTOMS. I tried the magnesium because when my IBS symptoms got bad, so did my heart palpitations.
Magnesium Oxide 400 mg. 2-3 times per day fixed my constipation, intestinal cramping, anxiety, and heart palpitations. I can literally eat anything I want now, including peanuts which I used to have allergic reactions to.
I can not get over that doctors do not checkk for a magnesium deficiency, but rather put people on prescription drugs for gastric reflux, calcium Chanel blockers for heart palpitations and irregularities, and Linzess for constipation. If you do ask for them to check your magnesium they will order a serum magnesium which is always normal unless you're practically dying because less than 1% of magnesium is in the blood and your body is good at making sure it stays at the normal level. The other cells get depleted causing anxiety, irregular heart rhythms, IBS, constipation, headaches, fatigue, nerve pain etc. If you want to get a more accurate measure of your magnesium level ask for an RBC magnesium level and then make sure it's up close to 6.5 to get rid of your symptoms. Read Carolyn Dean, M.D.'s book called the Magnesium Miracle. So happy I found my answer after years of pain and misery with spastic intestines!
