Mag

[k9krap]

So, I ran out of prescription-strength potassium over a year ago and my legs became more and more restless 24/7.  After extensive research, I started taking another magnesium supplement (I was already taking MagOx).  Fast forward a few months, when the volcanic diarrhea started (which happened shortly after I started taking cbd regularly).  These eruptions occur daily and sometimes several times.  My house smells like shit constantly.  I have packages of diapers stored all over the house. 

I was reading a funny post a couple weeks ago about someone prepping for a colonoscopy and there was a photo of a bottle of the prep.  The second word on the bottle was magnesium!  I looked it up and diarrhea is definitely a symptom of magnesium toxicity.  Kidneys flush unneeded mag and those with CKD can suffer toxicity because their kidneys can’t flush it out.  That’s me!  I stopped taking the MagOx and have immediately noticed an improvement.  My movements are still very very soft and sometimes all liquid, but I haven’t had an explosion since. 🤞🤞 I hope I haven’t jinxed myself.  

Unfortunately, I was awake for a major portion of the day with restless legs.  So I have a choice of violent shitting or sleeping.  Ugh.

So I shit a log today! First time I’ve had a semi normal poop in ver a year! I say semi, because I have a very lazy colon and only go when I’ve eaten enough to push out what is percolating in there. My mom had the same issue. Her last colonoscopy was done while she was in the hospital, and they tortured her for over 2 days. They inserted a nasal tube to get the laxative in her because she drank so much of it that she would vomit right back up. But nothing would come out! I asked the doc how he was able to perform the procedure when there was still fecal matter in there and he just kind of shrugged and said she was clean.

Anyway, one log. It’s a step!
