In order to keep from getting constipated, I have had to take at least 2, sometimes 3 tablespoons of Milk of Magnesia every evening. I would guess this plays a big part whether or not I am depleting magnesium. I had ordered a supplement; but, things were looser and so I stopped the supplement. Really confused regarding to supplement or not???? Would appreciate your thoughts on this.
