To prepare for my sigmoidoscopy (scheduled this morning 6:50am), the instructions said to eat solid foods for breakfast/lunch, followed by a strict liquid diet. My lunch was around 1:00pm. At 6:00pm I drank 10oz of Magnesium Citrate. I waited and waited. Nothing happened. I had to cancel my appointment. It wasn't until around 10:00am that I had results, only it was a normal stool. What happened??
The nurse told me the problem could have been caused by my late lunch. I'm puzzled by this. I've never taken a laxative before, so I have nothing to compare it to. Why didn't this work for me? Thanks!!
