Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about seeking advice on dealing with hypomagnesemia and absorption issues due to having a high output ileostomy, a fistula, and Crohn's disease. The individual has been prescribed magnesium supplementation in powder form, but it has a laxative effect and does not get absorbed. They are looking for alternative solutions, particularly interested in magnesium supplementation in the form of a chewable tablet.

Advice and Insights:
- Visit a health food store to inquire about different forms of magnesium supplements, as some have more of a laxative effect than others.
- Consider using Magnesium Breakthrough by BioOptimizers, which is a capsule that can be opened and mixed with water before bed, or a magnesium spray for transdermal absorption.
- Look into magnesium supplements that bypass the digestive tract, such as Carolyn Dean's ReMag from the US or Magnesium Oxide by Sona.
- Consider trying magnesium citrate gummies or prescribed chewable tablets for better absorption.
- Use Quaker's Oats So Simple with syrup to slow down output.
- Get tested for nutrient absorption issues through a simple blood test.
- Consider taking Mighty Mg, magnesium chelate, magnesium glycine, or Trace Minerals Ionic Magnesium Liquid, which are different forms of magnesium with varying effects on bowel movements.
- Monitor electrolyte levels through weak blood tests at the hospital.
- Try using Metamucil to bulk up the bile and prescribed Mag-G tablet, which does not have a diarrhea effect on the ostomy.
- Experiment with different forms of magnesium, such as Mg Malate, to find the type with the least laxative effect.
