@shorts thank you! I will have chicken broth and apple juice and - good idea - ginger ale. Maybe Jello. I’m especially concerned as I weigh 90 lbs and called the GI doctor’s office & asked the nurse if I should reduce the amounts. She said no - everyone’s colon is the same length. But I’ve seen other preps with 1 bottle MiraLAX and 4 Dulcolax.

If you have jello make sure it is not red or purple color.
You need to avoid food with those color dyes in them. The colon can take on those colors and appear different because of them. This detail is usually listed in the prep sheets the office gives you.
