A member asked:
What do you recommend if i have abdominal pain. drank magnesium citrate and nothing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to your Doctor: If abdominal pain is due to constipaion magnesium cirtate will work. If it is due to acid reflux (Magesium hydroxide is better than citrate) the citric acid of magesium citrate will worsen the pain. If pain is due to other causes it will not work. Check kidney function before taking extra magnesium in any form.

Took magnesium citrate (300ml) & now worried because I take a daily magnesium oxide supplement. I feel very nauseous & my stomach hurts after drinking the mag.citrate. Will this lead to hypermagnesemia? My serum lvl was 2.3 last year. I'm worried.
