TMI warning (poop).. Idk if I should go to the er. I’ve been taking magnesium citrate for the past few days (with no issues) and last night i accidentally took it without food. My dr said to try it out and see how my body does but did warn me of the laxative effects. Idk if it’s food poisoning or that because I started to feel super nauseous when dinner time came and couldn’t eat because the chicken smell.. but eventually had some oatmeal as that’s all I could stomach. I have been pooping liquid all night, even woke up and had realized I had an accident whilst sleeping. I’m sitting here on the toilet today and just won’t stop pooping liquid. I haven’t eaten yet because I feel nauseous. I don’t know whether this is food poisoning or I’m having a reaction to the magnesium citrate pill. I took the pill around 5-6pm and right now it’s 1pm the next day. So should I wait it out. I’m miserable I’m just crying on the toilet and I am the only one home with my toddler. Pair all this with the excruciating back pain I’ve had for the last few weeks and Braxton hicks I feel like 💩.
Isn’t that what they give people before colonoscopy’s to empty out their bowls? From a quick google search it seems like you shouldn’t take it more than a few days in a row, as it’s pretty much a straight up laxative. It sounds like you may have just had too much, especially without food, and that is totally emptying you out.. If the diarrhea doesn’t pass by tomorrow morning, I’d call the doctor so you don’t get dehydrated!
