Can you drink wine a day after drinking citrate magnesium?

I know that when I take Magnesium Citrate, I can't get out of the bathroom long enough to go mix myself a drink. But, all joking aside, since Magnesium Citrate essentially cleans out your intestines, it would be inadvisable to drink alcohol, because you won't have any food on your stomach to buffer the alcohol.

Give it an hour or two. Be sure to drink plenty of water, and be prepared for possible cramping. Taking magnesium is not something you want to do unless you're going to be home (and near a toilet) for the rest of the day.

Does magnesium citrate work for restless legs?

Anecdotal evidence - instead of taking the Donnatol the doctors have prescribed for Porphyria related pain, I drink magnesium citrate & it works. Donnatol is a muscle relaxer used to stop intestinal spasms. Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) works better; but, tastes worse than magnesium citrate.


What are adverse reactions to magnesium citrate?

This is a commonly "prescribed" item to use in preparation for a colonoscopy. While the reaction I experienced may not be common, and it may not be fatal, it was sufficiently severe enough that I will not take magnesium citrate. To begin with, I have acid reflux which is controlled by medication and never gives me any problem. However, after drinking the bottle of magnesium citrate as instructed by my gastroenterologist in preparation for my colonoscopy, I could not keep it down and regurgitated about 2 tablespoons of the stuff. I then developed a severe burning in my esophagus, probably due to throwing up. Next came extreme chills and shaking. This continued for quite some time, even though I got into bed underneath multiple covers. When the magnesium citrate began to do what it was supposed to do, and I went to the bathroom, the chills and shaking returned. I sat on the toilet for over 3 hours, covered with a heavy fleece cover, shaking like crazy, eliminating "whatever" from my body. When it became evident that the magnesium citrate had run its course, literally and figuratively, the chills and shaking also began to subside. My feeling is my body reacted to this heavy-duty concentration of magnesium. I will not take this item again.
