Magnesium alleviates menstrual bloating
Magnesium supplementation alleviates premenstrual symptoms of fluid retention.
Study highly relevant to topic
We explored the impact of magnesium supplementation on bloating as part of a larger study examining premenstrual symptoms. In our randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, we administered a daily dose of 200 mg of magnesium (as MgO) to participants over the course of two menstrual cycles. Each volunteer kept track of their symptoms using a detailed diary with twenty-two items.

Initially, we found no difference in premenstrual symptoms between the magnesium and placebo groups during the first month. However, during the second month, participants taking magnesium experienced a notable decrease in bloating and hydration-related symptoms such as weight gain and breast tenderness. This reduction in symptoms was statistically significant, indicating that magnesium can indeed alleviate certain premenstrual symptoms like bloating.

Our findings suggest that magnesium supplementation, particularly in the context of fluid retention and bloating, could be beneficial for women experiencing these discomforts during their menstrual cycle. Overall, this study opens the door to considering magnesium as an effective remedy for mild premenstrual bloating.

Magnesium treatment in goats
Grayanotoxin poisoning in three goats.
Moderate relevance; mixed findings
In our analysis of a recent case involving Nubian goats, we observed that three out of six goats experienced severe symptoms after consuming an azalea branch. They presented with bloating, regurgitation, and neurological signs, prompting their urgent referral to the zoo's veterinary hospital.

While the goats received a combination of treatments including magnesium hydroxide, activated charcoal, and lactated Ringer's solution, they intriguingly recovered within 24 hours. This raises questions about the specific role magnesium played in alleviating their bloating symptoms since it was administered alongside other treatments.

Although magnesium has been recognized for its potential benefits in various medical scenarios, the study does not provide enough isolation of its effects on bloating alone. Given that the recovery was quick, we can only partially attribute the improvement to magnesium without further research to clarify its direct impact.

Therefore, while magnesium's use is noteworthy, we should remain cautious about drawing strong conclusions regarding its effectiveness specifically for bloating in this context.

Combined treatment alleviates bloating
Efficacy of a simethicone, activated charcoal and magnesium oxide combination (Carbosymag®) in functional dyspepsia: results of a general practice-based randomized trial.
Magnesium's effect is unclear
We conducted a prospective study to evaluate the effects of a combination treatment—simethicone, activated charcoal, and magnesium oxide (known as Carbosymag®)—on bloating and other symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia. By including 276 patients who met the Rome III criteria, we set out to understand how effective this combination was compared to a placebo.

After one month of treatment, we observed that patients taking Carbosymag® experienced a significant reduction in overall symptom intensity, particularly in areas like post-prandial fullness, epigastric pain, burning, and abdominal bloating. Notably, the treatment resulted in a statistically significant improvement, with a p-value of less than 0.05 for these symptoms.

The findings suggest that while magnesium worked in conjunction with other agents, it’s part of a mixture that effectively alleviates bloating and discomfort in dyspeptic patients. Overall, Carbosymag® proved significantly better than a placebo, highlighting its potential benefits for those dealing with functional dyspepsia and related bloating.

Reduces bloating
I cut it in half with my teeth and drink it! Since I started taking it, my intestines are in great condition. I no longer feel bloated. I take two tablets in the morning and three at night. Initially, swallowing was fine, but it began to stick in my throat, so I tried breaking it in half. It feels good. If you think it's too big, give this a try. If you lack strong teeth, I recommend cutting it first.

Buckwheat shows promise for NCGS
Symptomatic efficacy of buckwheat products in Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS).
Positive findings on symptom relief
We conducted a study to explore the effects of dietary magnesium on bloating, particularly focusing on patients with Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). In a well-structured, randomized crossover trial involving 19 participants, we provided patients with products made from buckwheat while they also maintained their regular gluten-free diet in separate phases.

Our findings showed that when patients consumed buckwheat products, they reported a significant decrease in abdominal discomfort and bloating. Notably, there was a quantified increase in serum magnesium levels, suggesting that magnesium may play a role in alleviating some gastrointestinal symptoms.

However, we also observed that the control group showed a worsening of various NCGS symptoms such as nausea and headaches during the regular diet phase. While magnesium levels increased with the buckwheat diet, we can’t definitively single out magnesium as the sole beneficial factor regarding bloating. Nonetheless, this study points towards a promising role for buckwheat and its nutritional components in improving symptoms for those suffering from NCGS.

Magnesium's effects on bloating unclear
Successful treatment of idiopathic tetanus using metronidazole, magnesium, and acepromazine in Hanwoo (Korean indigenous cattle) yearling bull.
Focus on magnesium treatment relevance
We explored the effectiveness of magnesium treatment in a 9-month-old Hanwoo bull diagnosed with severe tetanus—a condition characterized by intense muscle spasms and tension. During this case study, we noted the use of several treatments, including metronidazole, magnesium, and acepromazine, to manage the symptoms.

Magnesium was administered for 7 days alongside sedatives to alleviate muscle spasticity and spasms. While the bull experienced severe bloat that necessitated a temporary rumenostomy, the specific impact of magnesium on bloating is challenging to isolate due to the combined treatment approach.

As we monitored the bull’s progress, we saw marked improvements in muscle tension, culminating in the bull standing up after being in a lateral recumbent position. By day 17 post-onset, all symptoms related to tetanus had resolved, allowing for a return to a normal diet. Although magnesium was part of the treatment regimen, its singular effect on bloating remains inconclusive in this case.
