MD's know nothing about nutrition. Do not rely on them for nutritional advice.
You should buy a low dose magnesium and start with one pill in the evening. Then add a second pill the next day. Then a third the next day. And so on until you have a loose stool. Cut back to the maximum number of pills that your body can handle before becoming loose.
When I was very sick with my rare kidney disease, I was taking 1,000 mg per day of magnesium. Now that I am healed, I take 129 mg.
OH I had terrible diarrhea when I was pregnant! Tested for everything including parasites.
Turned out it was the magnesium in the anti-acid I was taking because of acid reflux from the full abdomen pushing up the acid. Don't remember who clued me in that it could be the magnesium . . .
I am unclear on if you mean specifically when taking supplements or In life in general. Assuming you mean only the magnesium supplements, a loose stool means you are taking too much magnesium.
Excessive Vitamin C will also cause loose stools, too. But you have to take A LOT of vitamin C for that to happen.
If you are talking about life in general, lots of things can cause loose stools.

So is loose stool an indicator that you are taking enough magnesium?

Sorry, yes I did mean in reference to loose stools as a direct result of too much magnesium
Have you ever tried transdermal magnesium oil?
Yes I can vouch for Mag oil, it makes a big difference, along with C, B3 complex and Niacin.
No, I have never heard of that.
