Wish there had been more responses to this as I find this a problem also.
Just seen this, sorry! Yes I think my problem is definitely not enough magnesium, I must work on this!The trick is that you have to take magnesium in proportion to calcium. Too much calcium constricts the intestinal muscles, while magnesium relaxes them. From personal experience, you want at least 1 part magnesium to 2 parts calcium, but probably even better to get 1 part magnesium to 1 part calcium. But note that some magnesium supplements are less effective than others. Magnesium citrate and magnesium gluconate seem to be the most effective. Although it's always good just to get it through food.
+1. I think Ray recommends Magnesium Carbonate as it gives off CO2 as a bonus.
