Thanks. My GI recommends it, I wouldn't just take it on my own. I would follow his instructions.

I have Gastroparesis. If I don’t have a bowel movement for 2 days, then on day 3 bacteria begins to form and I had to go to ER and have them remove the stool, some manually and some by drinking laxatives.
Now I keep both enemas and magnesium citrate on hand just in case I don’t have a bowel movement on that 3 rd day.
Only sip a very small amount of magnesium citrate! Don’t drink the entire bottle like prep for colonoscopy!!! Never ever do this!!!!

Good to know your GI recommends it. Everyone is different - but what brand/dose do you take? Thanks!
