After quite a bit of experimenting, 150 mg magnesium citrate capsules. That gives me good dose control, 300 or 450 mg per day. 300 when things are working and 450, briefly, when they quit. This has more to do with the colon deformity than anything else, but it also gives me my magnesium. I got the dosing idea from an MD a few counties west of here that was also a blogger, etc., and it did the trick.
If I add in oral ascorbic acid, however, that's another set of issues.
what type of magnesium do you use?

The capsule size is also important -- too big and I choke on them.
