Product review: Magnesium Citrate Oral Solution

This post is not for the squeamish. It is also not for people who hate it when I talk about poo.

You go now!

Now, the reason for this little excursion is several fold. Probably none of them make much sense to anyone, unless we're super tight and then you're probably all "oh, that Kerry". My mother tried to be surprised but wasn't, nor was she supportive. My dad just sighed. However, my brother and several curious friends are on my side. My friends ostensibly because they need a laugh, and my brother because he just won the biggest loser competition sponsored by his work. He used the magic juice to get through the finish line (though he had less than dramatic results I suspect because he was at the 7th day of a juice fast anyway).

Anypoo, in helping my brother research possible products to clean his pipes and win the cash I spoke with several friends who had had colonoscopies and they all said this juice was the poo (no pun intended). Basically drink a bottle (2 if you're crazy) 24 hours before the procedure, grab a gallon of water and don't go far from the loo. I googled a bit and found this dude's story. Now I'm personally hoping for an experience somewhere between his 2 ends of the spectrum, but I understand the risks involved.

It's HN's night out with the guys (weds prep for the KSR) I've got a good book and several at home activities planned tonight (also implementing an awesome new twist on my mac and cheese but it just doesn't seem right to talk about food right now).

Time of Ingestion was 3:42 pm. It's been 45 minutes, nothing yet. I guess that's good?

5:00 Nothing yet. Ha! I laugh at this and briefly wish I had bought a second bottle.

5:12 A little rumble in the bronx. Tummy feels funny. hmmm...

5:25 WOW! and also OUCH! and OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE!

More to come. (apparently MUCH more)
