How long will Mag. Citrate make me poop

Question

Asked for Female, 32 Years

I went to the doctor yesterday and was told this abdominal pain is because of constipation. I drank a bottle of Magnesium Citrate at 3:30p, plus 8 oz of water. I drank another bottle of Magnesium Citrate at 5:00 because nothing happened. At 8p I started going to the bathroom and this did help me feel somewhat better. I'm still pooping a lot though this morning. How long will this last? I can't reasonably go to work in this state though I feel better. Am Is this really a 24 hour thing?
