Calcium And Magnesium Supplements

Anyone know of any good calcium and magnesium supplements?

I was taking a really good natural product that came in capsules, and it really helped for me PMS a lot. However, since I have developed this pain in the side I have had to stop taking them because I get that pain in the left side (colon spasms) when I take them.

Anyone know of any, preferably liquid calcium, that is not too prone to reactions?

Also, magnesium as well.

I did read that for IBS one should not take calcium and magnesium at the same time

I bought some liquid calcium and Vitamin D at LD today, and I am going to try to sneak it into my blender drinks in the morning and hope I get no pain in the left side.

If anyone has had experience with a good liquid calcium let me know.

Thanx, Janet

I like Liquid Health. The calcium has the right ratio of magnesium plus other supportive nutrients. It doesnt have the best form of vitamin D (doesnt convert well) so supplement with D3 as well.

I use E-zorb, which is calcium aspartate anhydrous. I believe it is made from plants. Its extremely absorpable (90%) and as far as I know there are no adverse reactions. I use magnesium citrate powder from Now. I have also used their magnesium carbonate powder.

I also highly suggest taking either marshmallow root caps or slippery elm--or both to help heal and soothe the villi. Bromelain/papain caps will also help aid digestion plus reduce inflammation in the intestines.

You should probably also not eat uncooked vegetables, highly spiced or fried foods and for now avoid nuts and seeds, especially if they are unsprouted--until the lining of your gut becomes more thoroughly healed.

Don't have any issues similar to yours. But I've done some research on Magnesium/Potassium suppliments specific to Celiacs (and when I was diagnosed, I was also deficient in Potassium), and I use Country Life Target-Mins Magnesium Potassium Aspartate (with other Target-Mins Chelates).

It contains Target-Mins Magnesium as Magnesium aspartate, oxide, citrate, taurinate, and alpha ketoglutarate.

And Target-Mins Potassium as potassium aspartate, citrate, and alpha-ketoglutarate.

Target-Mins (trademark) are complexed with specific free-form amino acids and Krebs Cycle carriers for optimum mineral transport. I haven't a clue what that means, but it sounds really impressive, doesn't it? B)

Plus, get this. Country Life always labels their minerals in elemental weight. Unlike other common suppliments that use those produce scales at Walmart. :rolleyes:

And, there's NO Yeast, corn, wheat, soy, gluten, milk, salt, sugar, preservatives or artificail color. Darn, kind of makes you wonder just what this stuff is made of.

best regards, lm

I take the calcium/magnesium suppliment by Nature's Bounty and VitD by Nature Made--both appear to be OK by the label, but maybe double check if you're interested. If you're taking a Calcium suppliment of any kind, always take with food or it can really upset your stomach! It's important to take the Ca/Mg together because each helps the body absorb the other. The 3 of them together are like a natural prozac too!

As yolo mentioned, Open Original Shared Link makes powdered magnesium and calcium, in both citrate and carbonate forms. These will blend into drinks pretty easily, thought the carbonate forms are more neutral in taste. The citrate forms will add a citrus sort of taste - sorta lemony. These powders have no other ingredients too, so hopefully you won't have any negative reactions from them.

Adding some vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) would probably be a good idea.

True about the vitamin D. I usually use cod liver oil but not all can digest it. If you can however its the best since it has omega 3's plus vitamin A.

Many use capsules if they can't take it straight. I use 800 to 1000 IU's a day (usually two teaspoons or one capsule).

      I had both the genetic genes for celiac. My gastroenologist advised he also took a biopsy during one of my colonoscopies and endoscopy and advised I had celiac disease, along with stomach ulcers from my esophagus stomach down to my small bowel. I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report. I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large...

      So, I'm a little confused here. I understand you to say that you have not been officially diagnosed with celiac disease. Is this correct? You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity...

I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report.  I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large bowel. I was on a strict diet for months following.  I am sorry if I didnt define how I was diagnosed with celiac disease.  I am sorry if you think I was misleading you. I also had to pay $150.00 for the genetic testing.

      So, I'm a little confused here. I understand you to say that you have not been officially diagnosed with celiac disease. Is this correct?  You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity". Just so we are clear about the terminology, there is celiac disease and there is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They are not the same but they have overlapping symptoms. Celiac disease causes damage to the small bowel lining but NCGS does not. NCGS is often referred to in short form as gluten sensitivity. However, people often use the terms celiac disease and gluten sensitivity interchangeably so it can be unclear which disease they are referring to. Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has one or both of  the genes that have been most strongly connected with the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. This makes the genetic test useful for ruling out celiac disease but not for diagnosing it. A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease because it doesn't permit the scope to go up into the small bowel where celiac disease does the damage. They use an endoscopy ("upper GI) for checking the small bowel lining for celiac damage.

I have several yrs of not knowing my celiac condition as docs would not do the test. After looking on the internet about my sufferings I insisted on the gene trsting which showed positive for gluten insensitivity and a biopsy on my next colonoscopy that also showed positive which could not help the damage done to my small bowel. So I very rarely have a glass of wine

      @barb simkin, are you sure the chocolate products are gluten-free and not "manufactured on equipment that also handles wheat products and tree nuts", i.e., cross-contamination? And what kind of alcoholic beverages are we talking about? Most beers are made from gluten-containing grains. Just checking.
