Foot and leg cramps
Ditto what Gina said. You don't want the bowel prep or milk of mag.
you want mag citrate PILLS.
when I made up calc caps, I also mixed mag ox and mag cit, so I agree with that.
there is a balance, true. But you can increase the mag and calc citrate just about indefinitely and your potassium will respond favorably. We tend to run backward in mag and calc, so adding more and more only makes the whole trio sing in harmony.
Don't expect your mag labs to change, though. If they were bad, they might go up. But if they were good, they may not change at all and we are ok with that.

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
