Hi Mary,
I use to live near Syracuse! Go Orangemen! 
I also have low Mg, but it's from cyclosporine (no transplant).
Initially, my doctor had me taking magnesium oxide, but my GI tract could not handle it. Now I'm taking Slow-Mag which is a delayed release magnesium chloride that is so much easier on my gut. Supposedly, this form is more easily absorbed so that you don't have to take as much of it. My Mg is still below normal, but at least it has stopped dropping.
