Abstract
There is no specific method of diagnosing magnesium-induced diarrhea. Therefore, the frequency and clinical importance of diarrhea caused by magnesium are unknown. The purposes of this study were to establish a method for diagnosing magnesiuminduced diarrhea and to apply it to patients with chronic diarrhea.Keywords
