This was the easiest prep I ever did. Miralax/Ducolax/Gatorade. I also had lower salt Chicken broth on the liquid diet, nice to have something warm with the cold liquids.
Thank you. You are a blessing. I am prepping my husband who has the attention span of a gnat:) is secretly afraid and hard headed. But, you saved me. Short, clear, concise advise coming from you, not me...things went smoother than I could ever have expected. Again, Thank you!
@@victornewman508 I just had mine today and used blue yesterday since my instructions said it was okay. Dr. rated prep as excellent, so I guess it is okay.
Bai Long - wasn’t hard for me. At first my brain was going “ wtf are you doing, this isn’t normal!!! “ ....after my colonoscopy, they said I could go back to eating whatever........I had me a chicken Alfredo spinach pizza... was yum!!! 🙂
Please purchase a package of baby diaper wipes. I bought the unscented ones at Dollar General and used them to wipe butt after each bowel movement. I had no irritation by using them. Keeps you clean and avoids soreness. You will be glad you had them. Just besure to use a plastic bag near the toilet for disposable. Do Not Flush the diaper wipes.
this is wonderful prep video. it took all the worries tossing them out the door. first timers will find this very helpful. we made it into word doc. with shopping list and step by step directions . thank you for taking the time to do this video. again Madilien thanks
Never have I heard of drinking milk or milkshakes the day before the procedure. Only clear liquids. Also never started drinking it so late. Started at 3 and always had to drink all but 16oz that you saved for the morning.
Wish I had this type of prep! I was already in the hospital, so I had to drink the NASTY gallon (closer to half gallon, after I poured a lot through the sink, bad I know!) of mess they gave me. I was in So much pain, of course no one cared. Anyway, if I have to have another I'll be using your method!
you wrote: I was in So much pain, of course no one cared. .....Why would they care? they are about to bill your insurance for 5-8000 dollars. You're just a number, sweetie. this procedure is somewhat controversial, please read up before you submit unnecessarily again.
Im not worry about colonoscopy procedure or the test of the laxative solution.i had it last year the beginning and dr said must go again this year and realy i want to go but told him im not go again until the dr.s discover new methods of clear me because i couldn't managed to run to the toilets and the shower.dr manage half of the entire colonoscopy exam.couldn't control myself.no ways.thank u.
I wish I found this before I had my moviprep didn't work as well as the pixilax I had last time 😪 I was awake and felt everything if there is a next time I am going to take 3 dulcolax at least I know they will work
This isn’t bad at all. (The actual drinking) basically just Gatorade but a tad salty. Kinda worried though, it’s been 3 hours since I took the Dulcolax. Just finished my 32oz. Drank it in about an hour.
I just did my prep with the Gatorade, it was a pain in the butt (no pun intended). This will be my 4th colonoscopy, but with a different doctor, my other doctor used the big jug prep. I'd rather do the jug.
@@alisonflaxman1566 no, to treating any condition [including cancer]. you clearly do not know the meaning of the word. good luck, you're gonna need it.
Before you go to bed As if anyone can sleep while on this much laxative and water I’m so scared I started a liquid diet five days out and I’ll be on a water and laxative fast two days before. But I will never ever put my body though this again
Hi, Can you drink the Gatorade faster.? I love lime Gatorade and can drink 32 ounces in 20-30 minutes. My Dr. gave me Suprep and it did not work at all. I had to cancel. Thanks
@@dianestainer1569 I just did the Cologuard test. It was fast and it uses your dna . All was good. I do it again in 3 yrs. The dulcolax and Miralax did not work. I tried half of that prep to see if it would do anything. I was experimenting to see what I might use. Orals never worked for me. Thanks
Used SUPREP ten years ago for my first Colonoscopy prep. First half of prepping went poorly; I was completely nauseated and threw the all solution up into the sink. Called office, and they recommended drinking plain water until bedtime-then do second half of prep in early morning. It was tough, but I got through it; was *going clear* upon arrival at medical office.
Warning…. any of the sports drinks will etch your teeth. When I last did prep, my teeth were sensitive for weeks after. My dentist told me not the drink so much of the sports drink.
This is literally the WORST form of prep. Dulcolax is terrible and 4 of them made me throw up nonstop for a day and a half. I was so dehydrated I was passing out and the pain lasted for days after. Don't complain about the taste of the other preps. This one might be more convenient, but when it goes wrong it's absolutely miserable.
@j v Oh, I never did update this It actually caused my large intestines to perforate and I had to have emergency surgery. Woke up with 2 feet of large intestines gone and a colostomy bag.
Ok I was definitely told not tomato soup but I understand how not having artificial dye might be why it’s ok on this list. But If I can have milk And I can have coffee Why can’t I add milk to my coffee? 😂
May I suggest you buy adult disposable pullups, absorbent pads and cloth chux as well as disposable chux to protect you bed, chairs and car seat. Use the restroom just before you're hooked up to the IV.
The Norway study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, states that only 42% of people who were invited to get a colonoscopy actually got one. The procedure has been touted as the best way to catch, and even prevent, colorectal cancer. For those who received one, the study said that there was a 18% lower risk of getting colorectal cancer, but ...[wait for it]......no difference in the risk of dying of cancer. Conclusion: they cannot cure colon cancer and this procedure does not cure it. There are downsides and risks to the procedure itself. A colonic is far gentler if you want to "clean out". Be informed, people.
Can you drink more in a shorter time? I was thinking drinking more solution sooner than every 15 min. I drink Gatorade any way , so how is the taste? Suprep doe's not work well for me. It takes to long and I am not cleaned enough for the procedure. I want to have something that works, Thanks
This was the easiest prep I ever did. Miralax/Ducolax/Gatorade. I also had lower salt Chicken broth on the liquid diet, nice to have something warm with the cold liquids.
Gatorlyte is white (blueberry flavored) helps maintain normal electrolytes.

best instruction yet and better than I got at the office
completely different instructions from what I was given.
This is the BEST video that I watched thank you for sharing it was so helpful..Bonnie from Milton Pa
this Is the best video I have seen for the procedure Internet
She’s using blue power aid. I’m told no blue, red, green, or purple!
I’m having my first one next month. And you’re right! My instructions say no blue, red, green or purple
Just stick with white, or yellow or green
@@victornewman508 I just had mine today and used blue yesterday since my instructions said it was okay. Dr. rated prep as excellent, so I guess it is okay.
No blue is ok.
The instructions from a hospital where I am say nothing orange, red, or purple. I haven’t had one yet but both my parents have.
God Bless you, Thank you so much for this very detailed video it was a Big help. 😇🥺
This video was invaluable. Thank you!
thank you good information. my go really smooth, but try to get back to eat normal was real hard .
Bai Long - wasn’t hard for me. At first my brain was going “ wtf are you doing, this isn’t normal!!! “ ....after my colonoscopy, they said I could go back to eating whatever........I had me a chicken Alfredo spinach pizza... was yum!!! 🙂

I have never heard anything eating ice cream and milkshake for a colon prep!
Thank you.
Put the prep into the freezer until it becomes slushy , it will go down easier and faster .
TY!

Can you drink blue Gatorade before colonoscopy?
Why does it have to be cold, can it be room temperature?
My 1st and only used this bowl prep and it was tasteless and went down fine. I will never get a colonoscopy that does not use this prep
So light blue sport drink is okay to mix with Miralax?
I just did my prep with the Gatorade, it was a pain in the butt (no pun intended). This will be my 4th colonoscopy, but with a different doctor, my other doctor used the big jug prep. I'd rather do the jug.
You'd rather drink a gallon instead of a half gallon?
4th??? this is a risky procedure. get another opinion from someone with a holistic approach.
@@jv-ep2tc a holistic approach to finding out if you have cancer? Ridiculous.
@@alisonflaxman1566 no, to treating any condition [including cancer]. you clearly do not know the meaning of the word. good luck, you're gonna need it.
@@jv-ep2tc this isn't treating cancer it's finding out if you have it. Good luck catching colon cancer early without it.
Before you go to bed
As if anyone can sleep while on this much laxative and water
I’m so scared I started a liquid diet five days out and I’ll be on a water and laxative fast two days before.
But I will never ever put my body though this again
why am i not allowed any yogurt ugh i’m starving and nauseous
i have one this afternoon they gave me peglyte,i tried the final dose no way i vomited so it better be good enough
What do you do if prep makes you throw up can you drink slower
Tips close your nose so not to smell, walk alittle ,drink slower, also drink a anotherdrink right away of different liq. Like ginger ale.
How much MiraLax did she pour into the Gatorade?
🤔..But What’s the measurements of the mirilax?? Because I have a large 510g container of it and I don’t think I would need to use this much
My instruction says no full liquids at all, and only 2 dulcolax, not 4. My guess is to best stay with your doctors instructions.
How much Miralax?
Hi, Can you drink the Gatorade faster.? I love lime Gatorade and can drink 32 ounces in 20-30 minutes. My Dr. gave me Suprep and it did not work at all. I had to cancel. Thanks
Talk to your dr and ask him if you can take 2 dulcolax that is meant to clear you out for opps
@@dianestainer1569 I just did the Cologuard test. It was fast and it uses your dna . All was good. I do it again in 3 yrs. The dulcolax and Miralax did not work.

can you eat avacodos on the day prior to the liquid diet? thanks
Its a bit brutal but has to be done.
Who here in 2021?
I start this afternoon! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Here in 2022
So what if you don't have a driver will they let you leave in a cab
Not alone. You have to take someone with you if you take a cab home.
@theresaskira well that sucks I just moved hear and don't know anyone 😕
This is literally the WORST form of prep. Dulcolax is terrible and 4 of them made me throw up nonstop for a day and a half. I was so dehydrated I was passing out and the pain lasted for days after.
Don't complain about the taste of the other preps. This one might be more convenient, but when it goes wrong it's absolutely miserable.
thank you for sharing that. all day vomiting and diarrhea has consequences.
@j v
Oh, I never did update this
It actually caused my large intestines to perforate and I had to have emergency surgery. Woke up with 2 feet of large intestines gone and a colostomy bag.
1 bottle of malax per 64oz of Gatorade
Oh! You used blue! You also should use the clear and yellow. Never orange or red or purple
Nothing g red or made from red
Red and purple not to drink
how long for the 1st bottle to kick in? I finished an hour ago and still nothing :/
Milk? I thought you couldn’t do milk or ice cream before a colonoscopy!
looks like she shake up lean
I drank Miralax with Hawaii punch thats red is that okay?
Can it make me poop
Ok I was definitely told not tomato soup but I understand how not having artificial dye might be why it’s ok on this list.
But
If I can have milk
And I can have coffee
Why can’t I add milk to my coffee? 😂
You cannot drink milk on clear liquid diet 1 day before the procedure
god help me this sucks
Im not drinking this crap
Who cares. Makes you shit your insides out!
May I suggest you buy adult disposable pullups, absorbent pads and cloth chux as well as disposable chux to protect you bed, chairs and car seat. Use the restroom just before you're hooked up to the IV.
Each gastroenterologist has a slightly different prep.
Thank you for explaining this so clearly and fast. ❤
So this is in place if the prescription crap ???
I could not find a 2 liter bottle of Gaterade.
Its OK just buy (2) 32 oz bottles.

I noticed this is far too much . Gator dater is a disaster. At. $1.30
Trust use a straw.
I thought ice cream and dairy was not allowed
Thanks 🙏🏾
Yeehaw!!🎉
