I have had numerous symptoms for a longtime including chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, and digestive issues. My Dr.prescribed me a medication that coated my stomach to help with mild gastritis. I started feeling way way worse. I read that it could block magnesium absorption. So I stopped taking it and started taking magnesium. Instantly I felt amazingly better. Everything was gone, except for loose stools. I feltlike anormal person again. I was taking fairly large doses of 2,000 mg. It seemed that after a couple weeks; the magnesium would build up and I would have some ill effects, which resembled those of a deficiency. I would go off it for a couple days then go back on, and I would be good again. I have been doing this for 6 months. It seems like my health is completely dependent upon taking magnesium.This really worries me, because I would like the problem to be fixed. My questions are is it normal to take this long to correct a deficiency? and Is there another issue that should be looked at regarding the deficiency? Thank you for your time. Jason B.
