A member asked:
How long after a colonoscopy prep is finished does diarrhea last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the prep: Frequently, I use Dulcolax to speed up GI transit and reduce the amount of time. Usually i tell patients to alot at least 3 hours after they finish the prep to have diarrhea.
