in the past week I have also started using magnesium spray and I am getting 200-300mg per day via the spray


Based on Dr Deans theory that when you start having loose stools when you are having too much Magnesium, I tested this last Friday,
I had 3 serves of the Mag Opti powder (approx 1000mg) 2 serves of the Vit C powder (another 150mg) 1.5 of the tablets (300mg) and two lots of the spray (400mg) magnesium wise this was 1450mg orally, 400mg derma
The next day I had 2 softer loose type motions. (not thin - so no evidence of inflammation)

I am typing up the info on dosage for both oral and derma applications
