I had to take a course of antibiotics for a week, due to an infection, late last year. I had a residual set of colon pains that did not get better, even with probiotics, until I greatly upped my soluble fiber and, later, for a totally different reason, started taking manganese with taurine (which I was already taking), to help my body make mnSOD.

Apparently, these were changes that helped get rid of my remaining large intestine pains.

I now get in 5-10 mg of manganese a day. The Upper Tolerable Limit is 11 mg, I believe.

magnesium glycinate
magnesium citrate
magnesium oxide

I never even heard of this. I kept thinking they’re spelling magnesium wrong.

Special note:

This is by far the most reckless article/study summary by med xpress I’ve read to date.

The takeaway is that supplementation may afford protection (I.e., “deficiency”), while the study itself cites a different solution altogether, without clarifying that abandoning the “western diet” may also be an effective solution (despite side mention thereof).

In fact, the upper limit of recommended manganese supplementation is 9-11mg, and OTC supplements deliver nearly 80% alone, thereby approaching toxic levels.

As well, the study authors cite the rarity of manganese deficiency prior to 40 years ago, but fail to cite how rare the genetic deficiency is among the populace.

The ONLY segment of the population this study serves are those who have been ill-served by their gastro mds and continue to suffer needlessly….unless you need yet another reason to rebel against the “western diet.”

Warning: Do NOT add standalone manganese supplements solely due to this post.

Ironically, this post also highlights one of the dangers of the keto fad.

Hmmm.

I had horrible IBS from 15 (caused by a personal event) until my early 30s.

Then it went away.

But I was still a nervous wreck :)

Still ate awfully.

No new medication or treatment

I will never know why it just “went away”.

I’m glad you got better.
