Failed prep for colonoscopy: What can I do?

We reached out to our neurology/multidisciplinary team at Mayo from the ER last week. Unfortunately, we live out of state, and were at our local hospital. We had mentioned gut issues during visits with the neurology team in the past, and they had advised us to use osmotic laxative daily, which he does. He is able to drink liquids (with straw and sometimes chin drop). Local Dr. did mention that side effects of other meds may be a contributing factor to the ileus, so will be investigating that as well. For now, he is home and doing much better, and ready to go back to work!!! Thank you for mentoring this feed.

Glad to hear your husband is home and doing better! He is lucky to have you as his advocate. Please remember to take care of yourself. Looking forward to your next progress post.
Best wishes to both of you!

I am glad that your husband is doing better now and is even back to work.

If you don't mind sharing more, what type of osmotic laxative was recommended by the neurology team?
