Hi @rosemarya
Thank you for your response. I went with my husband to consult with the UCLA gastro. Yes he is aware that my hubby is a transplant patient from Mayo. I'm questioning about Clenpiq because it's something we have never used. Both hubby and I took GoLytely prep previously, with hubby being on PD at the time(over 3 years ago). I remember me gagging on the GoLytely and I had a hard time taking it the second time, almost vomiting the water to follow after!!

I read over the Clenpiq label it does warn that there may be contraindication if creatinine < 30. I've heard that there are some bowel preps that should not be used for ppl with kidney issues. Being a kidney transplant patient with only 1 transplanted kidney I just want to make sure the prep will not impair his kidney. I did ask the doctor about the immuno meds he says OK to take like usual but his staff just goes by what is written on instruction! I'm going to have hubby follow doctor instructions. And no hubby has not had any adverse reaction to the bowel prep, just difficult to have to drink the ghastly solution and then followed by 8 glasses of water. Have to do this 2x before procedure.

How often do you get a colonoscopy? The GI doctor says if there is polyps return in 3 years, else 5 years. This seems pretty standard. I was under the impression that transplant patients have to have more bowel screening due to the immunesupp. meds but the GI says no, it's skin cancer you have to watch out for!
