A member asked:
Magnesium was 0.85 years ago and now 0.68 been on omeprazole years. if its that causing it to drop am i at risk of it dropping very low fast?

That's not fast: But Omeprazole can reduce Mg and B-12 as well as lower gastric acidity which interferes with digestion. You are young to be on omeprazole for years. Ask if you can take a "drug holiday" from it.
