We set out to understand how magnesium sulphate influences the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In a study involving 20 IBS patients, magnesium sulphate was administered orally, resulting in a quick boost in colonic motor activity. Most participants experienced this increase within just two to six minutes.
Specifically, the percentage of colonic activity rose from 16.2% to 23.7%, signaling a notable change. Those who often felt abdominal pain after eating showed even more pronounced reactions, with their activity jumping from 16.1% to 29.8%. However, it’s important to note that three of these patients still experienced their usual pain after taking magnesium, suggesting that while magnesium can enhance motility, it doesn’t eliminate the pain for everyone.
Ultimately, these findings lend support to the idea that some cases of abdominal pain related to food may stem from heightened intestinal responses to cholecystokinin, a hormone released by the intestine. So while magnesium shows promise for intriguing changes in colonic movement in IBS patients, its effectiveness in alleviating pain remains mixed.

I wasn't aware of the correct amount of magnesium flakes to use initially, so I added a lid. Even in summer, my feet tend to be cold, but soaking in a bath with magnesium flakes for about 20 minutes keeps me warm for a long time after. I hope this pleasant warmth lasts throughout winter. I'm noticing that the edema and bowel movements, which had been a concern, appear to be improving! I would like to continue this for a while!
