My local WalMart no longer carries the Lemon Flavored magnesium citrate. I have to go to a chain drug store where it costs twice as much.
I have tried the other flavors, the Cherry especially just does not stay down long enough to do anything.
The grape is not much better.
I can keep the lemon flavor down, but I have had a couple of close calls.
I have learned to put a pillow in front of the toilet, and put ice water in a stadium cup.
Then I kneel on the pillow, take a sip of the Magnesium Citrate, then a sip of water then wait for the aftertaste to start diminishing, and repeat. Then at the end, take several more sips of water Typically it takes me about ten minutes to get it down. If it' is going to come back up, it typically will do so within the next 5 minutes after that. After that, it's safe to drink the rest of the water.
When I am doing a cleanout my large intestine has already been cleared with enemas, and my stomach with fasting, so it's just clearing the small intestine, and goes to work in about 45 minutes.
