endoscopy prep

[Guest guest]

I think it's a little confusing since both upper endoscopy and colonoscopy are

covered by the word " endoscopy " , but I would be truly surprised (as a registered

nurse) if you needed to do a mag cit prep and no food for 12 hours before an

upper endoscopy. Those are things really related to colonoscopy. (Mag cit is a

laxative and clears out the colon. It will have no effect on the upper GI

system [except to taste bad!])

But I'm sure this will get cleared up for you very soon, since you'll have your

doctor's input on it! I hope that you hear good results....

All the best,

Ellen
