I'm scared that I take too much magnesium, because today I woke up with kidney pain, am I damaging myself?

I'm taking 2,000 mg of magnesium a day to help with constipation (I have it severe). Today I woke up with kidney pain and I'm getting nervous that it might be magnesium poisoning. I've been taking magnesium for 1 year now (my normal dosage is around 1700 or 1800 mg) but I hadn't had any problems before. I've just been having worse constipation lately....i don't know, im worried. please offer any advice or knowledge that you have....

To answer your questions,

1. The form of magnesium is magnesium oxide

2. I am taking it all at once

3. No, I am not taking it with calcium

4. I'm also taking a multi vitamin and drinking a protein shake

5. I am constantly consitpated and have been for years. I eat a TON of fiber. It's crazy.

1. What type (form) of magnesium are you taking?

2. Are you taking it all at once?

3. Are you taking it with calcium?

4. What other supplements are you taking?

5. Are you constantly consipated? What is your diet like?

You should ask a doctor, asap.

stop taking so much magnesium.

You should visit this website and check out the magnesium supplement they offer.

leave this medication,take esbagol ,natural, for 5 days

You must balance the magnesium with calcium or you can cause some SERIOUS problems. Consult a doctor immediately.

Try taking massive amounts of fiber. It tastes grainy but will make everything smooth. There is no long-term laxative that will not cause dependence.

Maybe you should get your self to a doctor..and try an colantic..you know shove a hose up your backside and flush..and eat some fiber..that aint normal..check your diet..sounds like you need some major medical help..get your self to a doctor

this test may be for you:
