Around the time I started taking magnesium glycinate (I have never taken this form of magnesium before) I started to get much more rectal bleeding.

Other ingredients are Cellulose, Staric Acid, Silica and Magnesium stearate - all of which I have used and had no problems.

Prior to the glycinate form I have used magnesium citrate and magnesium L-threonate and haven't get this increased rectal bleeding from them.

I am not confident in attributing the increase in rectal bleeding to magnesium glycinate, it doesn't make much sense to me; but I can't track any other causative for this to happen.

What are your thoughts? Have you ever had a similar experience with magnesium glycinate?

I will stop taking the supplement for some time to see if it still persists.

P.S. this is the product I have been using: /www.amazon.com/KAL-Magnesium-Glycinate-400-tablets/dp/B00013YZ1Q?th=1

Are you on meds?

Heather, yes. 6mp + Cimzia.

I just added nightly mesalazine enemas to my treatment regimen. When do we generally see a major improvement with rectal mesalazine, do you know?

Yes, they do help most who have tried them, unless one has sensitivity to salicylates or specifically mesalamines or sulpha. It's always worth a try. You should see in a week some improvement, maybe small, but depends on the extent and how intense the inflamation is .

Why are you taking magnesium?

For chronic migraine.

Oh ......didn't realise that could be of help. Is the migraine from meds? Or before meds?

How is your blood pressure?

Yes, it's widely used as a natural migraine preventative. My migraines are not med related.

My bp is a little low in general.

Sure.

I started a ten days antibiotics course today to treat the bleeding. This will probably take care of the issue.

Do you have an infection?

No I don't. Antibiotics are effective for Crohn's patients in treating the inflammation. It's sort of like an abortive treatment.

You have Crohn's colitis? Best to have a signature and make sure it's in all your posts.

Hope you feel better soon.
