A member asked:
I believe i've got serratia-gastroenteritis. i don't have diarrhea or vomiting. would taking magnesium citrate be good to flush it all out?

No: Why do you think you have gastroenteritis? Why do you think serratia is causing whatever symptoms you have? If you do not have diarrhea or vomiting, then what DO you have???? If you think you are sick, stop fooling around and see a health pro.
