All Epsom Salts are not Equal

I have been flushing for three years now every 2-4 weeks and gotten out 35,000 stones. (Before you ask me if I'm eating bacon cheeseburgers for breakfast, I should mention it is not due to diet but because I have had Addison's Disease since I was a kid and this causes liver stones .)
I have figured out that some Epsoms salts are stronger than others. About two years ago, suddenly I was only flushing out tiny and small stones, I could feel a gushing after taking the grapefruit juice/olive oil, and I wouldn't get the normal relief of symptoms after a flush until more stones descended and blocked the main liver duct again. Instead I was getting sicker and having terrible back spasms (when the main duct is blocked, it cuts off blood circulation to different parts of the back and causes spasms.)I finally realized the Epsom Salts were the problem, they were weaker than before. I bought a new brand and flushed out tons of huge stones--no more gushing, no more back spasms, and once again I got relief of symptoms.
But then a year ago, the same problem occured. Because I thought I had solved the problem by switching brands I figured I had a huge stone stuck in the main duct and it took me this long to realize it was once again the Epsom Salts . I realized the strength did not depend on the brand but on the batch.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to test the strength of Epsom Salts ? Or have recommendations of brands they have used that have never let them down? (After 67 flushes, half of which only half-worked due to weak Epsom slats, I am sure you can understand I am not keen on doing a lot more flushes for nothing while trying various Epsom salts through trial and error...)
Thanks for your help!

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,072,591I've had very productive flushes and very non-productive flushes while still using the SAME batch of ES. It may or may not be true, but I wouldn't take it as an absolute.

This is a reply to # 1,072,602I've kept track, and in my case the signs and symptoms I talked about correlated exactly with when I started a new batch. Obviously within the same batch there are variations in the number of stones I get out from one time to the next. But I'm talking about not having any problems and getting out very large stones over the course of 25 LFs while using one batch (2kg), and then only getting tiny stones and having a ton of problems for the next 25 LFs coinciding exactly with when I bought a new 2kg container. And this has happened more than once, so there's no doubt in my mind that Epsom Salts vary in strength and effectiveness. I've noticed the difference not just in the number of stones I get out, but also how badly the ES taste, and how much diarrhea they induce.

This is a reply to # 1,072,602It just occured to me to add, two months ago I bought a new 2 kg container of Epsom Salts with which I did three LFs, and got zero stones each time, not even a tiny one. The ES tasted very weak by comparison to others I'd had before and I made many fewer trips to the bathroom. This is when I finally clued in the problem was the ES. I tried another batch a few days ago and got out 550 stones. The ES tasted stronger and I spent a lot more time in the loo. I'm telling you, there's something to this.
I've been reading about ES, and its says the anhydrous form of magnesium sulfate is hygroscopic. This means the ES form that is devoid of water has a high capacity for absorbing moisture around it. This is why hospitals prefer the hydrate form of ES (magnesium sulfate heptahydrate or MgSO4 7H2O) in order to get accurate dosage. In other words, the anhydrate form we buy at the drugstore varies in strength because it contains more or less water per unit of weight from one batch to the other.- Re: All Epsom Salts are not Equal msteve666

This is a reply to # 1,072,591Magnesium sulfate is commercially available as heptahydrate, monohydrate, anhydrous or dried form containing the equivalent of 2 - 3 waters of hydration. Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is manufactured by dissolution of kieserite in water and subsequent crystallization of the heptahydrate. Magnesium sulfate is also prepared by sulfation of magnesium oxide. It is produced with one or seven molecules of water of hydration or in a dried form containing the equivalent of about 2 - 3 waters of hydration.
Magnesium sulfate occurs with one (monohydrate), seven (heptahydrate), or no (anhydrous) molecules of water of hydration. The C.A.S. (Ammerican Chemical Registry listing) numbers of magnesium sulfates are 7487-88-9 (anhydrous), 14168-73-1 (monohydrate), 10034-99-8 (heptahydrate), and 15244-36-7 (dried). The chemical formulae for magnesium sulfate are MgSO4 (anhydrous) and MgSO4.xH2O (hydrated forms), and the molecular weights are 120.36 (anhydrous), 138.38 (monohydrate), and 246.47 (heptahydrate). The monohydrate and heptahydrate forms occur in nature as the minerals kieserite and epsomite, respectively. Dried magnesium sulphate, which contains 62 to 70% of MgSO4 and the equivalent of approximately 2 to 3 waters of hydration, is prepared by heating the heptahydrate until approximately 25% of its weight is lost. Anhydrous magnesium sulphate contains not less than 99.0% and not more than 100.5% of MgSO4.

This is a reply to # 1,073,193Wow, are you a chemist? So then I'm guessing dried magnesium sulfate is the form we buy at the pharmacy. (I would've thought "dried" and "anhydrous" were the same thing, but apparently not.) I'm still not sure which Epsom Salts to buy though.

This is a reply to # 1,073,348I don't know why but the larger 1 Kg to 2 Kg packs with course grains don't appear to be as good as the small 500 g tubs that are little more expensive that come from the pharmacy. For example, like the following:
Realistically it should make a great deal of difference because even if the content of magnesium sulphate is 75% this can be compensated for by taking more. Interesting that you should raise this question.

This is a reply to # 1,072,591You can use magnesium citrate instead. It is a lot more consistent than Epsom Salt. Just drink a 10oz bottle of magnesium citrate early in the morning after you flush.
Here is the recipe. You don't have to use coke at all for this flush to work.
