Took magnesium citrate with a stool softener and now my stool is liquid and yellow. is that normal?

Certainly: The mag citrate is commonly used to clean out a person scheduled for a colonoscopy. It's can often clean you out and leave only digestive juices behind. The yellow is the color of bile after it starts to break down. Eat some apples or a banana and you should begin to firm up.
