A member asked:
Is there a blood test to measure mg levels or is it based on symptoms. since i take a double dose of ppis will it affect mg levels? tyvm

Magnesium level: There is a blood test for mg but since most mg in the body is in tissues and not in the blood, blood tests may not detect mg deficiency which is avoided with a diet rich in nuts, leafy vegetables and whole grains or by taking a mg supplement. Ppi's shouldn"t impact your mg level.
