Your talking about the "milk of magnesium" right? If so I'd say stay close very very close to a restroom because u will be on fire pretty soon the last time I had to take a half bottle of that stuff withn about 4 hrs of taking it boom! and boy oh boy that toilet took a beating

Magnesium citrate?? Three bottles? ?

[isenbergl 13]

yes - 3 bottles of magnesium citrate. They are small...like maybe 8-10 ounces each. Like the size of a small pop bottle. Does that seem like a lot? I re-read the directions a million times, and it is def. 3 bottles of it, split into 2 separate times through out day.

Holy crap I only drank 10 oz of magnesium citrate and I was camped out on the toilet -__-

Sorry I didn't see your reply... But yes like Lisa said that is some potent stuff! I had one bottle!

And it was bad but I also was in liquids for two weeks up to that point. It should work soon that for sure!

I had one full dose 10oz last night around 6 and nothing!! I did go 2 times this morning around 9am when I woke up! But no where near what I was expecting lol.

It has kicked in and I finally got it all down. Probably because I have not had any restrictions on food until today. Maybe takes a little longer to work it out

What's the purpose of this and from the sounds of it I'm glad I didn't have to do it.

I remember docs used I require flushing out when going into labor, but that went out with shaving you bare and the ice age I think

[isenbergl 13]

Thank you! Thank you!! It is all down here from here...right?? My hubs just took our kiddos to mother in laws. It was sad to see them go, I will not see them for 4 days, but it surely does bring the level of stress down a bit!

[isenbergl 13]

Good question! What is the purpose?!? I have heard some say that they WISH they would have done it because they were so constipated for days afterward, it was very painful....Honestly though, I was never told why. And, I am fine now. It was just getting that stuff down that was the worst.

Well I would assume so you don't lose your bowels and **** all over the place!

Did you read that thread about the woman in Mexico pooping all over herself!

Lol I would rather poop now than after surgery.!
