• Excess Treatment May Be Too Much

Dear Dr. Gott: Is there any health risk, other than the taste, in drinking 5 ounces of magnesium citrate a week to clean out my digestive system? Thanks for your opinion. Dear Reader: Magnesium citrate is an over-the-counter substance used to treat constipation. It is taken by mouth in liquid form that can be mixed with water or juice. The dose depends on the reason a person is taking it. Magnesium citrate works by pulling water from tissues into the small intestines, thereby stimulating a bowel movement within 30 minutes to three hours. When smaller doses are taken, especially when taken with food, the process slows. Following each use, a person should drink two additional glasses of water to replace the fluids that will be lost during evacuation.

• Nut Overdose Could Be Toxic

My wife is always telling me not to eat so many Brazil nuts. The past 10 days, I have eaten more than usual, up to six a day. I probably ate at least 40 nuts. I estimate that batch contained up to 6 mg of selenium, which is way too much. I have noticed a metallic taste in my mouth. That's a known symptom of selenium toxicity, so I am going to stop for a while and not OD in the future!
