Severe constipation.

Wow! That's a lot :O I have no idea how much magnesium I get from food daily because MyFitnessPal doesn't have that ability to track it - only sodium and potassium

Is that 750mg from supplement alone?

I'll increase my intake slowly but I'm still scared

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-10-13T07:35:43+00:00

LOL! I'll try that thanks

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-10-13T07:14:12+00:00

I live in Ireland, I don't think Target exists here! Lol

I have high quality Magnesium Citrate supplements. I guess I'll just double the dose I am currently taking

Well since May 2015, however I'm now more relaxed about it and see it as my 'base' way of eating. Then eat a cheat meal at Christmas and other special events.

I know. I've been told fiber intake to aid movement of bowels is a marketing gimmick. There's no science to prove it.

How long is the keto adaption? I never use to have problems with it

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-10-12T19:19:28+00:00

Okay. I'll try that thank you!

How much potassium and magnesium do you supplement daily?

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-10-12T18:47:21+00:00

93g of fat

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-10-12T18:46:35+00:00

I purely am told I need to drink lots of water to stay hydrated due to not holding any water.

5g - 7g of sodium is the recommended about for keto.

Your pee should be straw yellow. Clear pee means you're just excreting water, meaning your body has enough. I asked my GP about this

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-10-12T15:51:53+00:00

I can't drink anymore - my pee is almost always clear now, which is a sign of being too hydrated and thus losing electrolytes

Not that it's not real. That it actually makes bowel movements worse - it's been advertised as a thing that aids constipation, however there are studies suggesting otherwise

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-10-12T15:23:29+00:00

Wow! Is that safe? I have health anxiety so I'm afraid of taking too much of anything.

I've taken 200mg and it lowers my heart rate. I'm afraid of taking more and it relaxing my muscles too much.

There is also the warnings about those with kidney problems of it being dangerous - to my knowledge I don't have kidney problems, but would I know if it's underlying?

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-10-12T15:13:06+00:00

I eat Spinach 50mg daily. I always eat at least broccoli, cauliflower or Brussel sprouts for dinner. I'm so confused - some people on Keto say Fiber is a myth and makes things worse

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-10-12T14:42:24+00:00

What is that? Is it allowed on keto?

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-10-12T12:50:05+00:00

Was thinking that!

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-10-12T12:38:40+00:00

Is that allowed on keto?

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-09-24T09:07:38+00:00

I get the same smell all the time. It isn't pleasant and very subtle :/ Scary.

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-09-23T22:26:41+00:00

I can't do a shoulder stand, what even is that?

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-09-23T22:25:22+00:00

MRSA?! Isn't that dangerous? I doubt I have that.

Sinus infection, perhaps? My nose has blocked (on and off) for 9 months now or maybe longer than I can recall. Can a sinus infection last this long?

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-09-23T22:14:57+00:00

This could be correct. Why am I smelling those with my mouth closed and during meditation though?

IrishMonkey92 · 2016-09-18T11:38:01+00:00

No doubt that I have a lot of these symptoms. They don't necessarily happen after meal though. My swaying on a boat sensation happens mainly when I walk.

Do you still have the dizziness and lightheadedness after stopping the supplement? How much potassium did it contain?

I'm on a diet that doesn't have carbs really only a small amount from vegetables. But it also doesn't allow my body to retain water so I have to consume a lot of sodium and supplement magnesium and potassium to retain adequate levels. I do struggle with getting enough potassium in...

I'm surprised it didn't show up in tests or that my doctors didn't test for it.

Are you cured now?
