Magnesium giving me diarrhea

[claes123]

I started to take magnesium pills 3 days ago, 400mg/day (one tablet in the morning and one in the evening) but it's been giving me diarrhea, it's really really annoying. Anyone else have experienced this? I can't be the only one. If I can't fix this I'll have to stop taking them, cause it's not worth it and it's making me even more anxious.

What should I do? Take 200mg/day instead? It's Magnesium Citrate by the way, Highly absorbable and high potency.

I had the same problem, diarrhea and anxiety that made me want to tear my hair out. I had read how good it is for headaches and weight loss, ended up taking 750mg and all hell broke lose. I would cut down on the dose, good luck😊
