i couldn't agree with you more- i have dealt with MUCH less bowel problems

since i started drinking 14 cups of tea a day, eating 2 activias (one in the

morning, one before bed) and taking extra magnesium and iron. i love the

multivitamin i take but it only has 13% of my RDV!

 

much love in Christ,

sara

this in a magazine called Newlife (newlifemag.com, March-April 2008, " Magic

Magnesium " ) it said, " IBS is another condition that responds to magnesium. With

proper regulation of diet, elimination of food allergies, restoration of gut

ecology with good probiotics and nutrients like magnesium chronic IBS can often

clear up. Research suggests that IBS patients have extra sensitive pain

receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, which may be related to low levels of

serotonin. This may also explain why people w/IBS are likely to be

depressed(although IBS itself is so umcomfortable it might also be the cause).

Since there are more serotonin receptors in the gut than in the brain, you can

begin to see how nutrients like magnesium, which both relaxes smoothe muscle and

supports serotonin production and acti! on, might go a long way toward healing

IBS. "

any recommendations for dealing with these? Prilosec works well for

the acid reflux, but is very expensive and does not deal with the IB.
