Should be ok: You will still get the prep before the procedure to clean you up. Those are contraindicated with a regular stool test, although not the newer ones. Don''t worry. Good luck.

No need: To cancel your appointment. You may not be able to eat or drink anything after midnight the night before the exam. Good luck.
