Antacid abuse? When is it too much?

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?

Thank you for this explanation. I take magnesium oxide and when the bottle is gone I had planned to get magnesium glycinate. I do sleep much better at night and even my recent sleep test didn't indicate anything too awful or worrisome. My digestive tract is much better. I have osteopenia and I hope it will help because the prolia shot made me very sick. My mother and sister lived to old age and never took a medication to promote bone health. My mother was a widow for 34 years and stayed in her two story home from 1945 until 2008 when she died. I am hoping to avoid any bone densifiers and consider it a victory over my gut and sleep issues that magnesium is so easy. M.E.
