EGD and colonoscopy for Barrett's esophagus

I get my Colonoscopy and EGD on 4-16-24
I had both of these done last October but due to me not being cleaned out I now get it again. They also will check to see if my peptic ulcers are gone now that I'm back on a PPI. I get to drink a Gallon of Miralax on Sunday and a half gallon of Peg 3350 on Monday afternoon. That should work for the clean out. I drink 1/2 the gallon at 5pm, take 2 ducolax at 7pm, drink the other half gallon on Tuesday morning 4 hours before my procedure. I'm hoping the ulcers are gone. Anyone else dealing with ulcers?

The preps for colonoscopy is certainly a labor of “ love” to complete. I get colonoscopy every 3 years. I also get endoscopies as I have a history of Cameron Ulcers from sliding hiatal hernia. It took about 6 weeks for my stomach ulcers to heal. I developed iron deficiency anemia from my bleeding Cameron ulcers.
Hope all goes well for your procedure!

You had great news last time that the scope no longer showed evidence of Barrett’s syndrome. I'm hopeful that with the proton pump inhibitor the peptic ulcers are gone, too.

Oh sorry you are going to have to go through all that prep again !! I just had both ( my 3 rd -4 th ) in 10 years. Last ones Mar 1 st .
They keep finding the same 7 issues .
I’ve tried everything, I mean everything.
I have Gastritis, Esophagitis, GERD , Small Hiatal Hernia, Diverticulosis, IBS- D , Small benign polyps on stomach lining . Shataki Ring on bottom of esophagus.
I just had a first terrible bout of Diverticulitis. So painful ! I’m still going through it but fever broke after 1 st day .
Keep us posted on your results ok ?
