If you use the lotion form of magnesium, there won't be side effects on the GI tract.
Magnesium oxide form is a laxative and is not absorbed.
Some people are even sensitive to the chelates.
Morton Epsom Lotion is really nice and effective. You can't really put on your whole body in one day, but you can rotate areas as it seems to last more than one day for me. It is really a small miracle in a bottle for me at least.
A quarter's dollop a day is about the best amount to start with.
It is available at WalMart, some Walgreen's and online at Amazon.
