ok glad you are getting the level checked. that's what is important. perhaps taking the Mg with it is keeping it in check.

FYI:
dairy is not the best source of ca/mg so it doesn't matter as that goes.

the best sources are vegetables.... broccoli if i recall is the best, also kale. spinach is an excellent source of mag... peanuts... blackbeans... anything that is deep rich green is a good mag source because mag is a constituent of chlorophyll.

i know broccoli and cauliflower and other cabbage types are good sources of calcium again there are others sorry if can't think off the top of my head now.

but these are more absorbable than those from dairy, even if those in dairy are "balanced." they are still making a fuss about drinkin milk for strong bones and teeth but.... if people would just eat their vegetables it would do them better. oh also various nuts and seeds.

waves. you should do a web search.
