Moviprep: Moviprep is an osmotic laxative indicated for cleansing of the colon. It stops the colon from absorbing water and forming stool. It keeps your stool liquid giving it the brown color. This will allow for a clean colon void of stool for your colonoscopy.

Question 3

every morning i have a bowel movement at least 4 times in an hour, most of which is loose and watery. what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Could be normal: What's considered a normal bowel movement varies from one person to the next. In general, most people have it 3 x/day to 3 x/week. 4 times in an hour with loose, watery consistency sounds a bit unusual, but the important question is whether or not this is a new pattern for you or you have always had it this way. If it's something new, it could be diarrhea due to a number of possible causes.

Mucus thing: It may be related to something you ate or possibly so,etching structural like a polyp or material Ina diverticulum, a sac formed in the bowel. It may also have come from your vagina? I'm not sure how old you are but if this continues, be examined and consider a colonoscopy. All the best.

Question 10

i had my gallbladder removed 1yr ago last three days i've been having lots of green and watery bowel movements lots of pain in the upper abdomen. ?

Accepted Answer

Probably not related: If, after your gallbladder removal one year ago, your GI tract was functioning normally, then the current symptoms are more likely related to some type of gastroenteritis.  Start with clear liquids and if tolerated, progress to soft, bland foods, such as toast, broth, apples, bananas, and rice. Avoid caffeine, fatty foods, and alcohol.  If this persists for more than a few days, see your MD.
