Hello marvoldav, I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you provide a little more information on what you are asking?
I have not been diagnosed with this condition, but for my recent colonoscopy I had to prep a week in advance of the final prep day. I had to use a full packet of miralax every morning and limit my diet to chicken baked or boiled (yuck) and eggs. The miralax did nothing for me at all, but thankfully I cleaned out on the prep day.
In my last colonscopy, my gastro doc (knowing I didn't clear out prior but not knowing I had a redundant colon) just added an additional day of liquids for me, which wasn't enough of a change for a clear-out.
Others on this forum have suggested:
1. Laxative before (1) six days before the Suprep stop eating all the listed "stop foods." four days before Suprep clear liquids only. Then the Suprep.
2. One week before, a half cap of Miralax with your normal supplements and medications. A few days before eat just jow fiber, and the day before and day of use the prep and drink clear liquids.
I will likely try No. 1 as Miralax doesn't work for me (other than making me nauseous).
Opening to hearing other prep ideas.
