Morphological and immune response alterations in the intestinal mucosa (IE GI tract) of the mouse after short periods on a low magnesium diet

To All,

I came across this research on Magnesium and Intestinal health recently and I thought it was worth sharing!

Let me know what you think!

Is a Magnesium deficiency a trigger for an impaired immune system in the GI tract in Mammals?

Quoting from the article abstract

"These changes were accompanied by modifications in the expression of several genes involved in cell growth and stress response. From this present work, it may be concluded that short periods of Mg deprivation can affect the intestinal mucosa and local immune response of the intestine."

Research is new ever day......so it is often hard to keep up.....surprisingly this research 20 years old this year and no one even mention's it.....because there is so much new research being published every day......it is literally almost impossible to read it and digest it all!!!

Ecclesiastes 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

Posterboy by the grace of God,

I developed gluten ataxia. Magnesium cured it.

Very interesting article, and magnesium likely played a part in my finally getting over most of my gluten ataxia issues. Remarkably I can recall going to doctors when in my 30's where they did prick tests on my feet to measure the level of numbness to verify the issue, and after confirming it by saying "yes, it looks like you have ataxia, we'll have to keep an eye on that," they said nothing about how to treat it--no mention of vitamin/mineral deficiencies that could be causing it, or things I could do to help improve it.

One issue people need to know about magnesium is that it can cause IBS symptoms, and some people may need to try different types and amounts to be able to tolerate it.

I take slow magnesium.

Interesting...can you share the brand?

Jays911 Contributor

MAG 64. Can’t tell brand. I get it by prescription. The over the counter didn’t work, nor did IV infusions. I take 8 doses a day.

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Thank you so much for your response! It's been a challenging journey with this condition!

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein...
