Failed prep for colonoscopy: What can I do?

I have had three “ poor preps”. My newest instructions are for low residue diet and a capful of Miralax each night for seven days. Then the day before, Golytely am and pm. Day of, I’m to drink half of the Golytely. If this doesn’t do the job, then I don’t think it can be done, I feel like the doctors are all about blaming it on me. My last prep was almost as hard as this one is going to be.

I failed my last colonoscopy due to me drinking the gallon of prep in one sitting. I was told next time take miralax for 7 days before and then drink 1/2 gal at 5pm and the other 1/2 gal at 3am the day of the procedure. I hope it works.

I hope the next one works for you!
