I dont digest any vegetables and might experiement with upping magnesium.

I have found topical magnesium chloride in gel and magnesium baths with 
Epsom salts are a good aternative if oral magnesium has a laxative effect. 
At least one study (I'v read) indicates that bioavailability is pretty good.
