"Also I see that ML recommends more Ca/Mg with the kelp...one problem I ran into with more Mg (from epsom salts) is loose BMs/runs...so choose the extra Mg wisely, or space it out thoroughly"
This is something I would like to see addressed sometime. The fact that people who are very lacking in magnesium and calcium can not up their amounts of epsom salt to always meet their needs (in the beginning) because of the loose stool problem.
I am assuming that perhaps in time as the body slowly builds,(using the smaller amounts)it will correct itself but I have always wondered if it would be considered being impatient to just try a different type of magnesium that is less likely to cause the problem and once you get enough, switch back to the epsom salt for maintenance.
Upping the calcium, which can sometimes cause constipation, is not normally a problem for me personally because I have always had softer stools.
