Reply to "Milk Of Magnesia. How Much & when??"

rachel:

 

so the bottle size is generally 30ml's in total filled wise with the magnesia (im thinking phillips brand M O M  or whatever is avail OTC)? it comes in one size then?

 

concerning the not eating one day prior, i think its to err on the side of caution. im 235-240 lbs and even so, that i go to the toilet 8-12 times a day with my pouch, its probably not gonna hurt to eat very very lightly 2 days prior to scope and the day right before just do liquids strictly with M O M desired dosage at night time the evening before.

 

i dont mind not eating for 2 days hardly compared to doing an over kill prep of some sort and no enemas if i can bypass that, so long as the dr can see the mucosa/inaards well and take biopsies (and do polypectomies) since I have Familal Polyposis!

 

thanks and i will go look at the store to see if their is a small bottle and a large bottle and decide what to buy. half of a large bottle 15ml sounds good, and i believe it comes in cherry flavor but doesnt taste horrid like golylytly in "cherry flavor" or etc flavors - its just nasty stuff the liquid clean outs for colonoscopy ppl.

 

thanks for responding again and claryifing more on the M O M dosage.
