2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Magnesium Citrate plus a Probiotic Arm:Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants assigned to the magnesium citrate plus a probiotic arm will receive 1 bottle of magnesium citrate 296 mL PO once to be taken within a 4-hour period, (about 10 oz.). Because magnesium citrate remains within the intestinal lumen, a second bottle can be provided if there is limited bowel movement. Patients will be asked to take 2 capsules of probiotics twice daily for six days or until discharge, whichever is earlier.
Group II: PlaceboPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Participants randomized to the placebo arm will receive matching placebo 296 mL PO once to be taken within a 4-hour period, (about 10 oz.) and 2 cellulose capsules twice daily for six days or until discharge, whichever is earlier. The placebo will be flavored to match the taste of the interventional arm.
