Mag Oxide

[hoosiermama]

So. I had horrid problems with bloating when I took my calcium. I read somewhere that Mag Oxide will counteract this so I went out and bought some.

They are 400 mg of mag oxide and 15mg of zinc per 3 pills (just saw the 3 pill thing...no wonder they were so cheap). At this point I'm trying to take 500 mg of Cal Citrate + D, three times per day. How much Mag Ox do I take with my calcium? If mag ox doesn't work, what is my next step...the bloating made me unable to eat or drink, I was on my way to dehydration.

I take about 2:1 ratio of calcium and mag oxide every time I take my calcium. It works great to keep me from getting constipated.
