Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Hello all, My colonoscopy is scheduled for October 12. I was given a list of instructions and a scrip for Miralax. They said to take four Dulcolax tablets w/ a glass of water the night before the day of my prep. The morning of my prep I'm to mix the Miralax and Gatorade Ice and put it in the fridge, have nothing but clear fluids all day (nothing red, no milk etc), then beginning at 4 pm take the Miralax mixed with 64 oz of Gatorade Ice. They say that the sooner I begin the prep, the sooner the " diarrhea " will begin and end. Just a few questions: will it be safe to go to work the day of my prep, even with the 4 Dulcolax tabs the nite before? They say I can drink coffee/tea/iced tea the day of my prep. Isn't coffee and tea a diuretic? Should I keep those at a minimum that day? Also, what would be a good amount of fluid to drink the day of my prep, before I begin it? Thanks! ~Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
