Magnesium deficiency is common in people with chronic gut diseases like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, but current blood tests often miss it. This study will collect blood and urine samples from patients with these conditions and compare different ways of measuring magnesium to find which test works best at catching cases that standard tests miss.
Standard magnesium blood tests only measure a tiny fraction of the magnesium your body actually stores, so many people with real magnesium deficiency go undiagnosed. This trial aims to develop better screening methods that could help doctors catch and treat magnesium problems earlier, especially in people whose gut diseases put them at higher risk.

You will have four study visits where you'll undergo a standard clinical exam and provide blood samples and a 24-hour urine collection. The researchers will measure magnesium levels in different parts of your blood and urine to compare which tests best reflect your body's true magnesium status. The whole study involves standard medical tests with no experimental medication or invasive procedures.
