Hi All,

It seems like when I take a epsom salt bath the next morning my stools are better, could it be a sign I need magniusum in my diet? Like those doing the sunflower seeds and spinach that's high in magnesium, has anyone just taken a supplement of maginsium and felt better?

Thank You

Good post- I was wondering about this bath as a means to absorb Mg without any gastrointestinal (D) effects that can come with oral Mg supplements. I can't answer your question but it's interesting to see your report of improved symptoms. This stuff is available OTC at the drugstore- correct? (PS I tried the spinach/sf seed diet minus the seeds, using sf butter but the butter quickly cause me to flare, so for now I am simply eating alot more spinach than I used to- no real improvement though.)

spinach is great for everyone, but I think it can cause laxative effects. I have to by more epsom salt today. It's great for detoxing too. I'm getting tested for Lyme, Hypothyroid and back to them looking for a bacterial infection. Why do I get better on antibiotics for a couple days and then it's back to mush stools and inflammation. Maybe the antibiots helps the inflammation and that's it. Maybe I just have UC too.

Thank you for emailing back.

Yes Probiotic you can get the salts over the counter. Use two cups for a bathtub of water, that's what I do. Sorry I didn't answer this in the other post.
