I have had very high bowel tolerance for magnesium . I was tested for my level of stomach acid and it was very low and Betaine HCL was prescribed with meals. Interestingly, I now need considerably less magnesium for reliable motility. Anyone else experienced this?</div></blockquote>
<br />
Seven HCL tablets/meal makes no difference to motility.  I do seem to have a fructans intolerance (common in nuts).  If I avoid or materially reduce intake of foods with fructans, motility increases.]]></description>

I assume this is the post you are referring to: [<a href="https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,184249,184249#msg-184249"  rel="nofollow">www.afibbers.org</a>]<br />
<br />
If you are in the US, in most states, you can order your own RBC magnesium from Labcorp or Quest here: [<a href="https://requestatest.com/magnesium-rbc-testing"  rel="nofollow">requestatest.com</a>]<br />
<br />
Though I did an Exatest in 2004, that showed I was magnesium deficient, I&#039;ve subsequently used RBC magnesium as it is less hassle for me.]]></description>

Periodically,  the physican I use for nutritional evaluations/testing orders the Intracellular Magnesium test (Exatest) collected/scraped from the buccal mucosa....  She is the first and only physician that ever evaluated my <u>intracellular</u> Mg.  <br />
<br />
As indicated in my archived posts on this topic,  initially, I was very low.  I learned that (for me), the magnesium glycinate form of magnesium works well and my typical daily dose is between 400 and 600 mg....divided doses and always one, at bedtime.  I also make the Magnesium Bicarbonate water and use that during the day so my dosing depends on bowel tolerance and can be slightly variable. <br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Thanks, Jackie.  It might be reasonable to take it that one&#039;s overall Mg score is going to be reflected in a one-off assay of serum levels, but it can be misleading.  I don&#039;t know how well trained the physicians are these days in determining the true levels.]]></description>
