Does milk of magnesia help food poisoning? Last night my boyfriend decided to make Indian food before I had eaten I took milk of mag for my own problems this morning he woke up vomiting and diarrhea I'm wondering if I didn't get sick because i took it and if it will help him if he takes it to get rid of the bad food faster?
Dear it is used as a antacid and laxative .but not used in food poisoning. may be it's laxative property may cause fast excretion of toxin through feces may not affect you.but use in food poisoning may cause additive effect in diarrhoea.so it is dangerous. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.
take care
