First colonoscopy in March-said prep wasn’t good. Redid colonoscopy this week in June, said prep wasn’t good-though a little better. (7 day soft diet, extremely low fiber, 2 days all liquids). Said I need to come back this month for 3rd colonoscopy-but she’s doubling the prep I have to take. In the meantime she told me to take milk of magnesia daily, even though I have a bowel movement daily.

That seems extreme. How bad was your clear out? Nowadays they want it to be perfect. Way back when, not so much. For my most recent colonscopy, I had a less than stellar prep, also due to redundant colon. The gastro doc took an hour instead of 20 minutes to do the visual scan. I prepped for three days, I think. Do you have any problems other than a redundant colon?
