I was hoping to be able to get whatever Rx laxative pills I took last time, but I guess Kaiser no longer uses them. I refused to drink the gallon on saline, and told the GI that I needed a different way. (It's physically impossible for me to drink it. After glass 2, I start throwing up.) This time around I'll be using the MiraLax method. I think it'll be pretty good, because I'm only drinking 64oz total, and only 32 in one sitting.
The MiraLax method goes like this:
- Clear liquids (as always)
- At the start of prep take 2 Ducolax
- Mix 7 doses into 32oz of yellow, green, or clear Gatorade.
- Drink, drink, drink.
- The next day drink another 32oz+7 doses.
- Then drink Magnesium Citrate (I'll likely skip this step, because I probably won't need to do it.)
That will all be on Thursday and early Friday. My sister is having an endoscopy and colonoscopy at the same day, nearly the same time. We always did like to do things together.
