Thank you. I will reread. I know things are always being improved. Today and yesterday I took my original magnesium oxide today only the 1 250 though and on empty stomach. I don't know if fluke but went potty. The thing is it made my stomach burn and raw. I'm going to switch to the one your talking about but will it also help with the potty issue or more for absorbing. I want both. Is it bad though I took it on empty stomach? Brian I will try the water sipping. Is it diff then coffee in its effect?That story of you on crutches made me laugh cause my roomies when I got an enema on lets just say after longer then your friend of no bm thats how they felt.OY and did I need a laugh. Thank you
