There are some other websites mentioning the effects of supplementing with too much Magnesium but I think that one is particularly relevant because its main purpose is to promote the benefits of using Magnesium Oil - they are unlikely to mention negative side effects unless they needed to.Wow, that's crazy. I mean who knows? There aren't many studies on TD supplements. The site may be right though I have no clue. I guess trial and error?
This study looks at whether Crohn’s disease was associated with RLS since both are associated with iron deficiency. It would be interesting if they did the same sort of study on the correlation between magnesium deficiency and RLS in Crohn's Disease sufferers.I have an ileostomy, so I'm quite loose anyways, however, when I tried transdermal mag- it didn't seem to cause D but if I take mag in pill form it does- I usually take a 1/2 pill of it and don't seem to suffer too much D-
Edit: Just found this study, showing restless leg syndrome is around 40% of people with crohn's if I'm reading it right-

What form of magnesium are you taking?Susan do you find though that the magnesium increases your diarrhea? I can't seem to take it without running.
Thanks Susan, with the Crohn's I can't seem to concentrate on more complicated articles to understand what they are talking about any longer like I used to- My mind just glazes over and I find it difficult to concentrate- I didn't make the connection nthat they were correlating Crohn's and low iron with RLS-This study looks at whether Crohn’s disease was associated with RLS since both are associated with iron deficiency.

I was given Gabapentin on the off chance it would help with neuropathic pain ( it works for 10%, I'm not one of that 10% ) it didn't, but it totally got rid of my RLS. I see no side effects whatsoever, so it might be worth asking your primary about trying it out.Interesting about the Magnesium, the last two weeks have been pretty bad for me. The one thing I look forward to is curling up in bed with hubby and a film, but then starts the RLS, in both my arms and legs and also really itchy feet. Driving me nuts. RLS has started during the day too. I assumed I was deficit in something so I guess I should look into this some more.
Only just joined the forum today, so much to go through. Thank you
