>If I were to walk in a health food store tomorrow, with a very sensitive digestive system, what would someone recommend I start at? I know I'm being lazy, but maybe someone will indulge me--if I promise to read more later!
I'm lazy too, but I read George Eby's whole site and THEN I e-mailed him! : )>
He recommends (for me & my insomnia) taking 200 mg. with every meal and 200 mg. at bedtime to start (800/day). (He likes 400mg. with each meal.) He also says you have to take probiotics (good bacteria like that found in yogurt) to avoid having the magnesium leak out of you. Go to his site for more information about that. The link is on the thread starter. (I think this is it: http://coldcure.com/html/dep.html)
(Does this sound right to you, Larry and everyone? I'm especially curious about the necessity of probiotics. Is everyone on magnesium here using these?)
He says Carlson chelated magnesium is the best (photo at his site), but avoid other products that say "'chelated magnesium' because it could be one of the toxic amino acid forms --particularly lethal is magnesium glutamate."
I think, though, you can tell by the label what kind of magnesium you are getting, and I'd say to look for two you mentioned. I'm heading there myself today.
Good luck to us.

I'm going to start out much lower than that, as I am a chicken about things in pill form.Remember the olden days when we actually took pills FOR their side effects?!
