Reply to "Magnesium Issues- Help Please"

I agree,  though a little more of my ileum was refashioned as I have a S-pouch of 29 yrs. ago. I think the topical Mg is definitely the way to go but I am still interested in Dr. Dean's "No laxative effect" claim -seems to good to be true, will possibly give it a go and report.

I would consider the standard American diet lacking in proper mineral support, I doubt none of us eat a SAD diet, but with a modified gut and thus a modified gut microbiome environment and processing time, we all should consider the long-term effect on the enteric nervous system and the "gut-brain connection". Lots of things come into play when nervous system communication by the vagus nerve may be communicating confused/unexpected parasympathetic feed-back due to our unique plumbing: For me, I would line up issues such as sleep disruption, memory disruption, anxiety: take a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3Ftj5E90tY

My complaint of the SAD is not necessarily RDA's of vitamins and minerals, but  the structure of the food pyramid the inclusion of such high macro carbohydrates levels interfering with the absorption of vits and mins within our abbreviated digestive tracts. 

I find all this interesting as I have been dealing with my S-pouch for 29 years, with little to no problems functionally, until recently what I believe are the downstream long-term effects of my modified microbiome environment -I am just hypothesizing, but lots of people to follow may bump into similar issues and  something like Mg levels may be the canary in the coal mine. Just my 2 cents. 

   -if one would like to know their serum Mg just as a quantified self experiment it is super cheap and super simple: http://www.lifeextension.com/V...ium-serum-Blood-Test
