Just diagnosed with tortuous colon

What is extensive about your prep, if you don't mind me asking? Mine was discovered during my first colonoscopy and I'm wondering if my prep next time will be different.

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.

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.
