How to transition from magnesium citrate to triphala for constipation without side effects? - #53850
I was advised by an ayerveduc practitioner to take triphala for Constipation I’m still taking my magnesium citrate with the plan to transition to only triphala My bowel movements will be regular, followed by a couple days of constipation on this regimen. I was doing well on my magnesium citrate only and I’m very frustrated that I decided to follow this advice I’m currently taking four tablets twice a day along with 300 mg of magnesium citrate. I have been taking this for six weeks. Should I taper off or can I abruptly stop? I am having nausea and excessive thirst No loose BMs
