Help! Magnesium Citrate will not stay down.
RNY on 04/23/12
My surgery is tomorrow. My doctor requested that I drink 1 bottle of magnesium citrate and do two fleet enemas. I drank the magnesium citrate 2 hours ago with a bottle of water. It just sat in my stomach and made me really nauseous. I tried to keep it down, but ended up throwing it back up. Maybe it's just the brand I bought. Should I go buy a different brand or sit and see if my body absorbed some of it? What if I can't keep a second bottle down? Any suggestions?

I would call your pharmacist , or hang out and wait and see if anything starts happening. If you do get more maybe drink it slow ???
Good luck with your surgery

How soon after drinking it did you throw it up? did a lot come back when you did?
You should probably call your surgeon and see if he want s you to drink another bottle. If he does,pour it over ice and drink it slowly. give it time to absorb and not irritate your stomach and *don't drink a bottle of water behind it!
