A member asked:
I take a multi vitamin with iron and magnesium. i recently have been taking half the amount of magnesium as i was and my stool is darker and harder to come out. is this from the cut down on magnesium? i had an endoscopy and colonoscopy done 3 yr ago?

People with low magnesium tend to be more constipated. Lowering your magnesium may have made your stools darker and harder due to constipation.
