Epsom salt results are weaker?

I hope someone knows this or can point me in the right direction, but the Epsom Salts I ingest no longer do much to me except make me dizzy. I've done 3 GB flushes in the past and the first 1 caused me to live in the bathroom for several hours. The second a little less and the third flush even less time was spent there. Lately, I can take a spoonful of Epsom Salt to relieve biliary colic symptoms, however, nothing happens in the bowel. I don't even get gas or cramps now. I bought new salts with a valid expiration date thinking the old salts were no longer potent, but no, still nothing.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Is there a simple solution to this? I want to continue Dr. Clark's flush, but if all this magnesium is going in and nothing is coming out - am I in for hypermagnesia? Perhaps someone can clue me in. Thanks for all of your time!- Re: Epsom salt results are weaker? msteve666

This is a reply to # 1,029,391Can't imagine ES becoming innefective after just three flushes. 3 years, here and no problems. Some sessions better and worse than others. How much water do you drink during the day and morning after? Drink at least 2 glassses an hour before the frst ES, and in the morning when you get up (No morning ES). Keep drinking water in the morning and see what happens?
Can't make any medical comments. - Re: Epsom salt results are weaker? AilsaRose

Hey ForestsofMaine...
I was wondering how much is "a spoonful"? I have read that some folks take a teaspoon of Epsom Salts to relieve pain in their gallbladder/liver area. It is my understanding that this amount doesn't cause bowel movements...gas...or cramps.
I have used a tablespoon in 6 ounces of water (which is the amount of one dose when doing the flush) before if I felt that I needed bowel help. It has always help to move my bowels...sometimes I would have loose bowels sometimes not. Never have I experience gas nor cramps from the Epsom Salts .

You are likely low in magnesium. When you take high doses of ES, they draw water into the intestines, resulting in a kind of diarrhea. This water also carries electrolytes out of the body. Magnesium is one of the electrolytes (the other main electrolytes are calcium, potassium and sodium.
Try taking maintenance doses of magnesium oxide. I noticed the same thing happening to me, and I took the following: 3 days before, 1 500 mg pill. 2 days before, 1 500 mg pill in the morning and one at night. The day before, 1 with each meal. The day of the flush, just one in the morning. When I did my next flush, I had lots of bms.
I can't say what worked for me will work for you, but it's worth a shot.
Between flushes, you could add a 1/4 tsp of ES to every 2 liters (8 cups) of your daily drinking water, or a pinch to your food at mealtimes (you won't taste the ES) and this will help maintain levels of magnesium in your body.
Good luck!
