>I read on that website that calcium glycirate(sp) had been taken.
glycinate? That's a salt with the amino acid glycine.
>I don't have to worry about the squirts since my good old TCA makes me constipated. Actually, something to even that out would be nice.
The intestinal contractions that move food through your gut are in part regulated by serotonin. That's why drugs that affect serotonin receptors and reuptake cause GI side-effects. There's more serotonin in your gut than there is in your brain.
Too much magnesium will flush you out, like water pouring through you. Magnesium salts are part of the Fleet enema you'd use if you were going in for an endoscopy of your bowel. Everybody has a different threshold dose that will cause diarrhea. That's why I recommend slow dose increases with magnesium.
>I have thought about trying some cod liver oil, but my fragmented sleeping after things were going well on the fish oil has me somewhat spooked.
One teaspoon per week should be all you need to ensure your vitamin D intake.
>Any need to curtail my milk drinking?
No reason at all.
