I found this site when doing a search on magnesium citrate.
I'm a 56 year old woman living in western Mass with my family. I have IBS-C and there is a question of lupus.

Hubby has asthma, pretty bad allergies and diverticulitis.

My 20 year old doesn't have many issues beyond dandruff and Keratosis Pilaris. Which we cured with 2 packets of Coromega (fish oil) 5 times a week.

My 17 year old son has aspergers (high functioning), ADHD, dysgraphia and a few other comorbid differences. He is a good kid but can be difficult at times with his rigidity.He has been on Magnesium glycinate from Kirkman labs for 9 years to help with his hyper activity. It seems there is a lot of discussion about magnesium here. I want to try to figure out if he should stick to the glycinate or move to something else and how much he should be taking. I'm also hoping to see if there is anything else we can do to help him.

Normally I would always be searching for ways to help other members of my family. But this time I need to do research for myself. My chronic constipation has gotten totally out of hand, and this is what I am going to try to get info for first. Recently I have started taking slomag and have found it very calming. But I'm thinking another form of magnesium could still be calming but help with my IBS-C issues. Also for a number of years the pain and spasms running down my left leg and hip, pain and swelling in my feet and hands have kept me from exercising. I used to love to walk and garden but now it just hurts to much. I've gained 30 lbs in just about 4 years. Right now there is a lull in my pain but it normally starts up again in the heat of summer. A number of years ago my Dr thought it may be arthritis since it runs in the family. But after running a few blood tests they now believe it is lupis.

Anyway, I am glad I have found this site and have already mentioned it to friends at another site.

Ciao for Now.
