Wow, that is exactly what started to happen to me last Summer, the
Epsom Salts got less and less effective, as you described. When they are less effective, the biliary ducts seem to relax less, and I get only smaller stones. But unlike the person who suggested a magnesium deficiency, I thought it had to be the opposite, as I was getting more and more magnesium as it got less and less effective (I use it to relax my abdomenal muscles, which would contract around my esophagus and cause reflux). I had theorized that this was because my body got "used to" the larger intake, and since
Epsom Salts relax the biliary ducts by their magnesium content, maybe it was less effective because of this. I wish I had a definative answer on this one!
