According to Medlineplus:

Low magnesium levels may be seen with the following conditions:
Alcoholism
Chronic diarrhea
Delirium tremens
Administration of excessive insulin
Hemodialysis
Hepatic (liver) cirrhosis
Hyperaldosteronism
Hypoparathyroidism
Pancreatitis
Toxemia of pregnancy
Ulcerative colitis

In the original poster's case (with no history supplied), I'd be wanting to rule out intestinal uptake/fluid balance, and the glandular issues, right off the top.
