Chelate is just a suspension the magnesium bonds to. It’s common. But also lots of people shit themselves inside out after taking it.

      Cankles-McJeggings Some of the folks in this thread had the same issue with Magnesium Citrate, versus the other magnesium varieties.

      What’s your take on cod-liver oil? Just started that, seems to be having a positive effect on me.

        I eat loads of oily fish, ocean trout, smoked trout and salmon and smoked trout fillets throughout the week so no need to supplement with fish oils which are omega 3 and 6 rich. They recommend 250g twice a week and I’m double that. Don’t eat anything high in saturated fat either really. Maybe once or twice a month. Cut out dairy yonks ago. And bread.
        I’m not very conventional for breaky I have rice, chickpeas, kale, tomatoes and smoked fish every single fucking day. Sometimes scramble an egg into it. Followed by dried dates, fig and apricot. Living the dream.

          Haha 😑 it’s not out of choice mate. Only a bit, like half a handful of cooked. I’d die of starvation otherwise.

          It’s grim at first but it’s grown on me and I actually like it now. I mix it up with fried turkey mince some days instead of fish! Mental.

            Lost 10kg I have and now im center of my BMI. Think Joshua but with minerals 💪

            Ah so the rice to offset the hunger til noon? You wouldnt chance a bit of porride with honey or anything no? lol

              I wish, that was my staple for years. Then my stomach decided it no longer liked it all of a sudden. That was curtains for it. I was seriously gutted. Bread happened at the same time. I blame too many antibiotics and too much spirits.
              And yeh rice is purely to fill it out a bit.

                  4 weetabix nestled on a bed of Dorset Cereal is my breakfast du choix.

                    Weetabix is seriously unhealthy. Processed shite full of sodium. Mind you they’ve probably upped their game on the sodium front nowadays. It’s still processed shite though.

                      Yeh and also pasta went at the same time.
                      I stood Infront of the fridge the first morning I had to give it all up and thought what the fuck am I going to eat? There’s literally fucking nothing to eat 😭
                      My breakfast was always toast and marmite with porridge and fruit. Like nearly my whole life. Then one day it was all just taken away from me. Like a stolen baby. I didn’t really know what to eat for a month or so.
                      The thought of smoked fish then provoked suicidal thoughts.

                          Half a pounder with chips if done correctly wouldn’t t use any processed food. Weetabix is processed.

                          Did you take any Tests to see what was wrong with your stomach. I’ve been having this stomach problem for a while which seems to come & go. I’ve had all the relevant tests even a colonoscopy a couple of years ago which all came back clear apart from Internal piles and a small amount of diverticulitis.
                          I then changed my diet to a more high fibre diet. Stopped eating white bread etc. I do eat rice & pasta but only once a week. I’m just hoping it’s my diet & not some more serious.

                              Coming and going sounds like classic IBS and as far as I’m aware that’s what I have. Just management now really. It came and went numerous times then stayed for good. I’m not coeliac but I’m relatively wheat intolerant. Oddly enough though I can eat Indian grown wheat/flours no problem, so it’s likely to be GM and/or pesticide related.
                              Had every test known to man and nowt.
                              I had a number of serious operations then I had Giardia from the tropics and a parasite from Cambodia in close succession and to kill that lot they used proper nasty pasty antibiotics and I’m reasonably sure that it killed everything to do with any gut flora I had. Never the same after that.
                              I’ve tried to rebuild it but think it’s too far gone. Plus during all that I was nailing spirits which I attribute to it all.
