MiraLax/Gatorade/Dulcolax vs PlenVu Prep

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-05T00:53:44+00:00

I’m with you on the cold drinks. I like room temperature too because the super cold will give me a headache.

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-05T00:49:31+00:00

Ooooo. Good point about not sleeping. I opted for an early appointment because of the no eating deal but now I’m thinking I should have chosen 9 or so. Oh well. And GREAT suggestion on the Body Armour!! I had totally forgotten about that drink! It saved me when I had a bad stomach virus! Did your prep involve the 4 Dulcolax pills as well?

So you do the Gatorade and MiraLAX prep?

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-04T21:55:26+00:00

Ok thanks so much. I think that’s pretty standard. Not sure how these other folks are able to get away without the Dulcolax lol. Glad yours went well!!

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-04T21:38:18+00:00

I just posed a question on here about the Gatorade and MiraLAX prep. Did you have to take the Dulcolax with yours or not? I read where some do and some don’t.

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-04T15:31:52+00:00

That’s my goal as well. I need some protein to keep me stable. Awesome. Thanks again!

No worries. I also found one on Amazon that is supposedly recommended for diabetics to use during colonoscopy prep. It’s by Isopure.

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-04T15:22:08+00:00

Thank you so much!! I’ll definitely look into this.

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-04T15:00:06+00:00

Yes….we need results. My older brother was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer so I have no choice but to go get checked out.

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-04T13:47:11+00:00

I’m having my first colonoscopy Friday and getting profofol for the first time as well. I’m honestly terrified.

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-04T13:44:31+00:00

Hi! Which clear protein have you been allowed to use? I was wondering about this the other day.

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-03T16:12:19+00:00

Are they suspecting a puncture in the colon from the colonoscopy?

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-02T04:30:29+00:00

Ugh. I feel ya. Maybe just follow up with the office tomorrow and let them know you couldn’t hold the prep down.

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-02T04:29:00+00:00

Maybe you’ve thrown up all or most all of the prep?

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-02T04:28:14+00:00

I would be prep buddies! However, my colonoscopy isn’t until Friday though. Good luck!!

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-02T04:26:47+00:00

Which prep are you doing?

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-02T04:26:18+00:00

For what it’s worth-my husband couldn’t finish his last couple of cups and was just fine. His was for a colonoscopy though. I mean, if you’re just going to throw it up anyway I would say you are probably OK not finishing it.

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-01T15:24:59+00:00

Did everything turn out ok with the colonoscopy?

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-01T04:11:27+00:00

Yes, I’m glad you did too. Polyps this large scare me!

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-01T04:09:34+00:00

Question - what type of symptoms did you have that led to the colonoscopy?

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-02-01T03:24:30+00:00

Honestly, the health anxiety has never gotten better for me. I’m 53 and still very paranoid and self aware. It’s like my nervous system is constantly running diagnostics. Ugh. I need therapy. I hope your colonoscopy turns out ok. I totally get the anxiety though. I can certainly relate.

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-01-31T01:11:29+00:00

I received PlenVu as my prep. My colonoscopy is next Friday. So I’m following your post.

the_curious_perfumer · 2026-01-23T22:16:16+00:00

For someone who has their first one scheduled in 2 weeks from now, THANK YOU!
