It wasn't bias, it was intuition.

If you reading Protein Power Life Plan closely, you'll notice that they caution
that Magnesium is a LAXATIVE.

800mg/day is a little on the high side for supplementation, especially since you
may already be consuming some source of magnesium.   Try cutting it in half to
400mg/day and see if that does the trick.

After reading PPLP, I also increased my magnesium intake, which worked for me
because I was tending a little towards constipation at the time! :-)

One of the most popular laxatives on the market is "Milk of Magnesia"...

PS   I'm not sure about the heartburn, it could be related, or it could be
something else.   Usually, heartburn is corrected by doing low-carb or paleo.

PPS   As a result of PPLP, it is hard to find magnesium online at the moment!
