Dear Butterfly,

You were still getting some magnesium --- just not the kind that the body can fully absorb. Even then, some was still getting absorbed.

Some people take CALM to help with sleep, leg cramps, and so on.

If you need magnesium, you can get it in food sources: almonds, dried apricots, dates, . . .
I like sliced almonds on my salads.

(The full 2 rounded teaspoons on the instructions of the CALM prepared according to instructions are 350 mgs of magnesium but some people get loose stools at that dose and need to experiment to find the right dose.)

It might be good to not make any changes to your diet until after the blood work for the Nurse Practitioner.
