[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 114052, member: 18023"] I wanted to clear up mistaken assumption on my part. I had "thought" dhea/[COLOR=#333333]pregnenolone was causing [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]diarrhea, but it turns out I was taking too much [/COLOR]magnesium. I had been taking nearly ~5 grams of magnesium citrate powder which is around 1,250% of DIV. A heaping teaspoon. I didn't realize I was at that high a level, as I didn't read the details on the bulk package, and I had been taking this for a couple of months with no problem. The serving size on the bulk magnesium was suggested to be 3325 mg, but in the details it stated 500 mg was 125% of DIV. I had thought 3325 was 125% of DIV, not 831% of DIV,so I had thought I was only a little over DIV. I didn't take any magnesium for a day and took 25 mg dhea, no diarrhea. It seem obvious and makes more sense now that the excess magnesium citrate was the cause as we all know excess MG will always cause diarrhea, but at the time the coincidence of symptoms starting at the same time as starting pregnenolone or dhea led me to think that was the primary cause. It might also be I was deficient in MG in the past, but now my body stores of MG have reached capacity and only a maintenance dose is needed. [/QUOTE]
