Difficulty In Swallowing Magnesium Citrate. Scheduled For Colonoscopy. Advice?

Yes, thank you. I am scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow morning. I am having great difficulty swallowing the magnesium citrate now. I have tried sweeting it with Stevia, watering it down with tea and more water, but I can't get passed a few swallows. Any suggestions to make it easier? I have to consume another 10 oz. dose in the morning before I go, too.

YOU CAN USE IT WITH WARM WATER MORE OF WATER AND LESS OF MEDICINES
ONLY HOT WATER CAN DISSOLVE IT OR HOT MILK CAN ALSO BE MIXED IF YOUR MILK DIGESTIO IS GOOD
