Guest guest Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I'm " prepping " for tomorrow's prep for a colonoscopy on Tuesday. I haven't had one in 3 years, so I'm a bit nervous. Last time showed scarring/inflammation in the terminal ileum and severe perirectal disease. I've been on Humira since last July, and eating SCD since December, so hopefully things will look much better. My prep is the Dulcolax & Trylyte combo. I also bought a bottle of the pricey E-lyte for electrolytes. Questions: Is plain Milk of Magnesia legal? I read a tip that said taking a dose of that tonight before bed would help get things rolling for tomorrow. Is it true that diluted canned pineapple juice is a clear liquid? Can I put a packet of plain gelatin in it for protein? Is it advisable to stop the juice/gelatin before the prep drink? Can I put honey in my green tea for some extra carbs? My colonoscopy isn't until 12:00 PM on Tuesday. I was hoping to start the prep Monday afternoon to get it over with, but would that be a bad idea?
