Colon scope prep. drink miralax (polyethylene glycol). how long will i have diaherra for? all day. or will it hit me then stop?

Not long: The effects of bowel evacuation agents like MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) are generally quick and short term. Your diarrhea should not last too long, a few hours at most.
