Anyone have a positive Cologuard test?

I had an abnormal Cologuard test. Colonoscopy scheduled for Wednesday. Very concerned about the prep. I had RNY gastric bypass surgery 13 years ago. Spoke to my bariatric doctor and she said I should be getting a "mini prep". The prep the surgeon gave me asks for 12 dulcolax, Gatorade, etc. I avoid laxatives like the plague due to severe cramping from them. I called surgeon back and he never heard of a "mini prep" and gave me a different prep reducing Dulcolax to 4 tablets. I am so worried the cramping will cripple me. I also have GERD and take protonix for it. I always take meds with food so am afraid of gastric reflux not having any food. I am hoping for the best but does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with possible cramping and reflux?

Hi, I Tested positive 5 years ago on cologuard, did the colonoscopy and they found a couple noncancerous polyps and hemorrhoids, now I tested positive again and I have a colonoscopy scheduled for October. The prep is 4 dulcolax and 2 bottles of magnesium citrate.
