A member asked:
Do i still need to take all of the 4 dulcolax and 8.3 ounes of miralax (polyethylene glycol) power for colon scope if i have been having loose stools for 5 weeks?

Yes: Follow the instructions you were given. You don't want to go in for your colonoscopy, be anesthetized, and then wake to find out they couldn't complete the procedure because you weren't adequately cleaned out. It's a waste of time and money...And embarrassing, too!
