Is Accidental Ingestion Of Magnesium Fatal?
Question: I'm going g for Colo in 2hrs drank 3 bottles of magnesium day before yesterday I accidentally swollen a small. Piece of dried XXXXXXX will I still b able to do test?
Brief Answer:
Yes, you would!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
If you had taken the prep solution as recommended, the small piece of XXXXXXX alone cannot prevent your test. It is small and there is no reason that this would be expected to interfere with the colonoscopy exam. Also, this might still well be higher than the colon as the test is in a few hours only.
As for the magnesium taken 2days ago, there is just nothing to bother about.
I hope this helps. I wish you a safe and friendly procedure. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
