Me neither, but I trust miwives more than almost any other HCP's to know things no one else does. So, my thought is this. Is there a relationship between calc/mag deficiency (probably the mag) and constipation? I personally have experienced the need for calc/mag to heal recurrent mastitis. So, maybe that is the coincidental connection? Chris Hafner-Eaton, you are back, what say you?
