Morphological and immune response alterations in the intestinal mucosa (IE GI tract) of the mouse after short periods on a low magnesium diet

To All,

I came across this research on Magnesium and Intestinal health recently and I thought it was worth sharing!

Let me know what you think!

Is a Magnesium deficiency a trigger for an impaired immune system in the GI tract in Mammals?

Quoting from the article abstract

"These changes were accompanied by modifications in the expression of several genes involved in cell growth and stress response. From this present work, it may be concluded that short periods of Mg deprivation can affect the intestinal mucosa and local immune response of the intestine."

Research is new ever day......so it is often hard to keep up.....surprisingly this research 20 years old this year and no one even mention's it.....because there is so much new research being published every day......it is literally almost impossible to read it and digest it all!!!

Ecclesiastes 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

I developed gluten ataxia. Magnesium cured it.

Very interesting article, and magnesium likely played a part in my finally getting over most of my gluten ataxia issues. Remarkably I can recall going to doctors when in my 30's where they did prick tests on my feet to measure the level of numbness to verify the issue, and after confirming it by saying "yes, it looks like you have ataxia, we'll have to keep an eye on that," they said nothing about how to treat it--no mention of vitamin/mineral deficiencies that could be causing it, or things I could do to help improve it.

One issue people need to know about magnesium is that it can cause IBS symptoms, and some people may need to try different types and amounts to be able to tolerate it.

MAG 64. Can’t tell brand. I get it by prescription. The over the counter didn’t work, nor did IV infusions. I take 8 doses a day.

      Weak positive blood test and marsh type 1

      By Philly224 · Posted

      Thank you so much for the detailed reply! I was just eating my normal diet so wasn't going out of my way to eat gluten. The week before my blood test I actually had a stomach virus so I wasn't eating much of anything so I do wonder if that contributed at all. Before the biopsy I was just eating my normal amount of gluten, I would say two slices of bread per day would likely be about what I was having maybe a tad more. It was mostly white bread and some pasta though.  I can't figure out if I can edit my post but my total iga level was normal

      Weak positive blood test and marsh type 1

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There is no such thing a "mild celiac disease," and your blood test results and biopsy results indicate that you indeed likely have an issues with gluten.  It also would make no sense for you to go gluten-free for two months and get the blood test done again--I can predict the results for you--negative. The real question here is how much gluten were you eating before your last blood test? You should have been told to eat 2-6 slices of wheat bread a day for 6-8 weeks before the test, otherwise your results will likely be lower than if you had followed the proper testing protocol. The same is true for the biopsy--how much gluten were you eating daily in the 2 weeks before that test?  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. You have two positive blood tests for celiac disease, and have symptoms, so there is a high probability that you have it, or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, regardless of the biopsy results. Unfortunately studies have shown that biopsies often miss taking samples in the appropriate areas, or taking enough samples, or properly interpreting the samples that are taken, so false negatives can be common. Were you eating gluten daily, lots of it (at least 2 slices of wheat bread's worth) for 6-8 weeks leading up to the blood test, and for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy? If  not, your blood test results might be lower scores than if you had followed this protocol, and your biopsy results could also be false negative. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Enegy level extremely low

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      My iron was not low, but my B-12 levels were extremely low.  I had zero energy.  I had micronutrient testing and I was put on a boatload of supplements.  Everything recovered pretty quickly except for my D, B12 and antioxidant levels.  The doctor ordered genetic testing and found that I have a genetic inability to process all three.  Thus, my dosages were increased, and I was advised I would need to take them for the rest of my life.
