Failed prep for colonoscopy: What can I do?
Digestive Health | Last Active: May 16 10:35am | Replies (156)Comment receiving replies
Was this prep prescribed by a Mayo DR? My husband has a struggle with getting an acceptable prep. What they had him do was tortuous but successful.
1 week of soft diet then
1 gallon of liquid prep
3 days clear liquid
1/2 gallon of prep the eve before
He’s a big guy and was very weak going into the prep.
No alternatives given for him
at Mayo.

These pills were prescribed by my gastro... I did eat very light the two days before. I weigh 108lbs.. and the day before I did take 2/3 Dulcolax and then you take 12 (very large pills which I cut in half) and by 8:00 pm I was clear. My colonoscopy was scheduled for 3:00 pm the next day and I did not need to take the other 12 pills because my colon was clear. The pills are called Sutab. You can google it ... it's the easiest of all the preps I've had to do and since I'm 77 there will be no more.

Daaaamn. I’d never comply with that. I souped for three days before prep started. But that wasn’t clear liquids all 3 days. I hated every minute of prep and threw up twice.
Fortunately I had no polyps this time and it had been four yrs since prior one. I’m 73 and we agreed that barring issues, I’m done with screening colonoscopies.
