In Reply to: Colonscopy prep - is this a bit too much posted by sm on Mon, Oct 04 2021 at 07:56 PM CDT:

: I requested GoLYTELY instead of the Dulcolax + MiraLAX routine, as that big old jug has always been successful in past procedures. The instruction sheet now says to also take 3 CAPFULS of MiraLAX 6 hours after the GoLYTELY is started! Why would you need to add on that much MiraLAX after you are pretty much "going clear" after the gallon of solution is finished. I don't know if my system can handle that much. Isn't that too harsh for anyone? Have you ever heard of this? It's been 9 yrs since I did the last one so maybe things have changed.

: TIA

- Once you've been diagnosed with polyps, it's no longer considered "screening." BTDT and had to pay more for "diagnostic." nm Thu, Oct 07 2021 at 10:09 AM CDT (2)
