Antacid abuse? When is it too much?

I feel better taking magnesium daily after the same kind of behavior others have described with antacids etc. I do take a pepcid occasionally. What about the magnesium and giving up the others works? I would like to know because I figured this out for myself by the way I feel. It helped with constipation and chronic nausea I had for years.

I found a great article explaining the benefits of magnesium for you.

My only previous exposure to magnesium was when I was child and my mom would ply me with Milk of Magnesia to keep ‘me going’ when I experienced constipation. Apparently that was the go-to med back in the day. Gack! I can still taste it and that’s more than 60+ years ago! 😅

However, during my bone marrow transplant one of the major factors I was checked for daily, was my magnesium level. It’s important in regulating so many functions in the body and one of my meds seriously depleted that amount daily. So initially, daily IV infusions of mag were given. As my meds changed, so did the dosage of Mag. Now I really don’t have to take it but I do because I’m finding it helps promote good sleep for me. I feel better, more energetic, my bone health is improving and my distestive tract is happy!
My husband now takes a daily dose as well. He also sleeps better and has seen other health symptoms, including his digestion have improved.
I take magnesium glycinate because it doesn’t cause any of the side effects for me such as gas or diarrhea that comes with magnesium citrate.

What magnesium suppliment do you take?
