Loose stools after taking mag glycinate
Current supplements: Magnesium glycinate 220mg (split from 440mg tablet) I am normally constipated and it doesn't bother me. Recently however I experienced the opposite, loose stools 1-2 times in one day with urgent stomach cramping (the kind where you need to run to the bathroom immediately).Could magnesium glycinate 200mg cause this even though it's considered the gentlest form? I cannot switch or replace my magnesium glycinate supplement. I want to understand what caused the sudden shift from my normal constipation to loose stools and urgent cramping, and what I can do to manage it without changing my supplement. What timing or dietary changes can I make to prevent this without stopping or replacing my supplement? And should I be concerned?
Stomach issue
Hello Doctor, I am 42 years old, 80 kg, height 5’9”. I need your opinion regarding my digestion issues. For the last 1 year I have acidity/stomach burning, frequent burping, heaviness/tightness in stomach after eating, and a lot of smelly gas passing from below. Sometimes when my stomach is tight it feels like my breathing is restricted. Gas release gives relief. My stool is daily and normal. My endoscopy done 4 years back was normal. Thyroid and Vitamin B12 reports are normal. Current medicines: * Thyronorm 100 mcg * Sompraz IT * Prodep 10 mg (symptoms seem more noticeable after starting this) * Livoluk powder Could this be GERD, functional dyspepsia, IBS/bloating, or medicine-related? Do I need any further tests like H. pylori, or should my Sompraz IT/Prodep medicines be reviewed?
