Kiwii, I can tell you what my colonoscopy prep procedure tells me to do but I don't know if it's safe. I guess I'm just a big old chicken but I'm scared to death of it. Here goes: No breakfast snack or solid food all day. Drink only clear, orange, ginger ale, sprite, 7up. fruit juice you can see through, apple, white grape. Lots of water. 1 cup black coffee. popsicles or jello, banana, lemon, lime. clear gatorade or powerade. If diabetic you can have 1 can vanilla glucerna. At 3:00 pm take 4 Dulcolax tablets. At 5:00 pm mix 255 gram bottle of miralax in 64 ounces of clear, lemon, lime or orange powerade of gatorade, no red or purple. Shake until dissolved.
Drink an 8 oz glass every 10-15 min until the solution is completely gone. At 8:00 pm. drink 1.5 oz bottle of fleet phospha soda oral laxative. If stool is not clear or still has yellow/brown color drink another bottle of 1.5oz fleet phospha soda. Continue drinking clear liquids until bedtime. If I do all of that I will be passed out in the floor way b/4 8:00 pm. Good luck to you.
