SCD-legal colonoscopy prep in Canada

[Guest guest]

I am scheduled for a colonoscopy in a few weeks, my first in many years, and

definitely the first since I have been on SCD. The clinic where I am having

this done has e-mailed me instructions, including the items I must purchase

ahead of time:

1 container of Klean Prep (containing 4 sachets) - an osmotic laxative,

which apparently contains SCD-illegals: vanilla flavour and aspartame

4 Dulcolax tablets - contain lots of SCD illegals

4 bottles of Gatorade (lemon-lime or orange - definitely not SCD legal,

contains sugar syrup

apple juice (I would use filtered apple cider, but I am also allergic to

apples), ginger ale - not SCD legal unless I make it myself, white grape

juice or white cranberry juice; I will have to search for SCD legal white

grape juice and SCD legal white cranberry juice

Gravol (take orally before starting preparation to help avoid nausea &

vomiting)

I have printed out Marilyn Alm's helpful advice in the " getting started "

file, but I don't think I can purchase Walgreen's Easy-Lax here in Canada,

and I am not sure whether there are any equivalent products available here.

I know that people have mentioned Miralax -- is this product sold in Canada,

and if so, will it be as effective as Easy-Lax would be, as a substitute for

the 4 Dulcolax tablets?

Does anybody know of any SCD-legal osmotic laxatives available in Canada,

and whether they are available without a prescription?

Thanks in advance for suggestions. I have been on SCD for about 2.5 years,

have managed to adhere pretty faithfully, and anticipate much misery if I

have to swallow SCD illegals before the colonoscopy.
