    Thank you!
    I actually think you're the only video that addresses the situation. Currently I am prepping for tomorrow. Nothing is going on. It's been over 5 hours. I only have two more for this part. And the second part starts at 4 a.m.
    I just don't want to do this again. Ever!

    Thank you for reassurance. I follow prep instructions also ear lite 4 days prior and only yogurt or soft foods. Currently taking Miralax with Gatorade with the bicos pills. I just don’t know if it’s going to work since the first part of it has not worked yet and the test is at 10o’clock in the morning. It is very frustrating because sometimes I do not think the doctors practice believes that you have taken all the prep and follow directions but I do.

      I ended up going to another Doctor. It never worked for me. Try a couple Ducolax pills to help it. My new Dr. gave me Golytely and the night before the cleansing I took 3 Ducolax tablets before bed. . The Combination worked well and no discomfort. The Golytely was not bad to drink, but I found it better without the flavor pack. I just did my colonoscopy again 9 days ago . All was clean and no polyps. You may also try an enema to help it get started. Good Luck, If nothing happens call the doctor. , no one solution works for every one. ..

I even drank extra water then I had to. I have a new doctor now. The last one did not even call to see how I was when I cancelled 3 hours before and left a detailed message of my experience. .

    I have a colonoscopy tomorrow Saturday. I have never had one before. I took the first prep which was tablets at 4pm and second 5pm which is powder mixed in water and done exactly what they told me to do. So far it has not started working. They did not ask me questions about my bowel habits before hand and they have just gone by the book, and as you say some who go three days without going it may take longer for it to work, but since my procedure is tomorrow I am patiently waiting for it to start working and just hope it does soon,, as I want to get it all over and done with. Its around 6.45pm now. It states it can take up to 3 hours to work..I am to take another one 3hrs tomorrow before going to hospital, I hope I dont have accidents when travelling there as will be going via public transport and am sure anyone else has the same concerns too. For anyone who is to have this procedure done who hasnt before, Yes you feel very hungry and can feel a little lousy as well if you have never gone 24hr without food before.., as have to starve for 24hrs for the procedure., Black coffee with sugar may help as they say you can drink this and tea without milk and some say that coffee fills you up so I am trying that...

    I'm due to have a virtual colonoscopy, I'm actually more worried about the prep than i am about the scan!, Not least because one of the reasons I'm having a scan is looser bowels than I used to, I was born with spina bifida and it affects that area sometimes, having said that my normal routine is maybe once every couple of weeks! And I go big!! Lol. So I'm both worried that the prep will make me really 'go' and it will be a panic to make it in time, but also that it won't work, over the counter laxatives, like fybogel sometimes have no or very little affect on me. I wondered also what opinions on virtual colonoscopies are? Are they as effective as old school colonoscopies?

    I guess it was causing kidney problems. They took it off the market and now there is SuTab.
    I had a 1 PM colonoscopy I was told to take Sutab at 5 AM and 8 AM was not enough time. I certainly didn’t go enough and they had to cancel it so now he wants me to take two boxes of the SuTab.

      One additional comment-the first colonoscopy I had was when I was in my mid 30's, about 30 years ago. Back in those days they didn't mess around, it was a '3 day prep' and the day before your procedure they wanted you to down a big glass of Cod Liver Oil mixed with orange juice! I was like drinking engine oil, that stuff is nasty tasting and consistency! But it DOES work. About an hour after I managed to choke down half a class of it (it wasn't easy!) I was laying on the couch watching TV and my stomach started to make nasty noises-like the Van Wilder colon blow scene. I barely made it down the hallway and it POURED and POURED. This colon is ka-lean! czcams.com/video/EXFsz1V5s18/video.html

    I usually can't go to the bathroom for one month or more until I take some kind of laxatives. I can only poop in liquid form. I knew my bowel prep will not work. So I water fast for 3days before. Started my prep 3 days before my appointment. I took Pico salax with dulcolax. Not working. So 6days no food only water and only bloating, very little bowel movements. I call my doctor they switch to peglyte. Thankfully I have one more day before the apt. I am to mix the power with water and drink all of it the day before. It comes in plastic bottle. I will start that in the morning.

      Yep, I had a lot of pain. I had difficulty swallowing also, sometimes for more than a month I couldn’t go unless I drink a salt water flush. The peglyte worked very well. My prep was good. I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy done. They removed about 6to 8 polyps from my stomach and intestines.
      No more pain and I am semi- regular(weekly) and that’s very normal for me. I can take the peglyte any time.

      A salt water flush first thing in the morning before eating anything worked better for than any laxatives as they only give me bloating and gas. I would advise you to start a soup diet with no meat right up to the start of your prep. It will work, don’t worry too much. The procedure is very easy. I felt nothing and it’s over in a flash. I had a really good sleep.

    My procedure is on Monday. I ate only what I should have all day Saturday, cottage cheese with lime jello. Took the two pills “Biasacodyl”, Saturday at bedtime 10:30pm and by 5:00am visited toilet three times and “it” came out like someone turned on a faucet!🤣 Now Sunday got to drink half of my “Gavilyte” at 7:00pm tonight and again finish off at 3:00am Monday morning! I think what you eat a day or two before your prep will definitely help to empty that colon out.

      Did you drink a lot of water with the Bisacody pills or just a sip and swallow? I'm going for my colonoscopy next Monday and my instructions don't mention drinking any certain amount of water with my three Bisacody pills. It only mentions consuming a certain amount of water with the purg-odan packets.

    Yeah well my 2-bottle prep didn't work (though I was gushing out on my pot at least 10 times) - after all that the water was still brown with no additional BMs 18 hours before the proceducure. Went through with it anyway and still found residual matter. Now I have to repeat the whole thing with something more aggressive, and I'm stuck paying for two precedures. I'm insisting on the GoLitely method next time.

      I'm with you!!! ITS BS we have to pay for the second one when we can't see in there but yet the toilet is telling us that we are good!!!! I had clear /yellow bm's the morning of mine and then got told I wasn't clear, they were going to reschedule for later in the month, I said absolutely. not, I had to take 2 days off, and this isn't happening again!!! And I need shoulder surgery, not taking more time then one day more, where is there an opening tomorrow. They got me in at noon the next day and said I had to stay on the Split Mirlax Gatorade, duh, guess what. I didn't do anything other than what I had done that morning of the first one, clear/yellow. Now tell me how we are supposed to see up in our own "arse" and tell if we are clear if what coming out is as they describe what they want to see. So 2,000.00 later I'm fighting BCBS and the dr's office to code it so it is covered. Not one thing in our health policy does it mention if a failure happens and what is and is not covered. It just states 1 colonoscopy per 5 years. Well in my world, I didn't have a colonoscopy because they didn't get far into the colon so nothing was seen. So tired of this bullshit on these companies and drs offices. I did ask if I was going to be getting a bill from the cleaning crew, nurses and others that set the room up because I got 6 bills, 3 for each one! Back in the day it was all on one bill you didn't have tons of mail with bills that you have to sort through to figure out who gets paid what and why they get paid!!! UGH!!

    I have server IBS I gotten my first colon check when I was 20 found over 100 Polyps and after that one got check again 6 months later with 45 and so they tested that and turns out I have a genetic gene that causes colon and other parts of my body cancer. My last colon check was July 3 2017 they sent those off and for the first time can't tell me if I have cancer or not. Due to me not healing I now have to wait a year to get my colon and throat check. Yesterday before thanksgiving I call to have a colon prep I tried drinking a colon drink from the store and a Enema and didn't work. So I drink the whole colon prep in one day still not a lot happening so I be worry I may have a polyps blocking me?

I haved Ra and some kind of bone disease I'm going to Maryland to see a tissue doctor in Jan I'm taking close to 15 pills today no pain meds mostly for ra, to stop the tumors to go and also for my bladder my cancer gene can cause ovarian, bladder, colon, throat, chest, and stomach cancer so have to get them all check some every 6 months others once a year.
