low magnesium and crohns

by Shell
(Australia)

i have had crohns for ten years and for the past three months, I am travelling into hospital every week for very low levels of magnesium to have infusions. It has become very low since starting on infliximab about 2months ago. All of my other electrolytes are within normal range, I am also taking 6000 mg of oral magnesium per day . Does any one have suggestions.

 low magnesium and crohns
by: Anonymous

Check the type of magnesium that you're taking because they are not equal....Magnesium oxide they say is not taken into the blood that easily, and a better for is magnesium citrate. If you are taking 6g of Magnesium oxide, then you are giving yourself diahrea daily which IS WHY YOUR MAGNESIUM IS LOW.

Note:
a blood test of magnesium is usually useless since only 1% of your Total body magnesium is in it, but in your case you seem to be inducing diahrea which is messing it up......Use a more Bio-available form of magnesium because it will improve your symptoms from Chron's.
