A member asked:
What do you suggest if my husband is going in for colonoscopy today. is it ok to use gatorade to mix with colyte (polyethylene glycol)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem: GoLytely is a white powder in a 4 liter jug for reconstitution, containing 236 g polyethylene glycol 3350, 22.74 g sodium sulfate (anhydrous), 6.74 g sodium bicarbonate, 5.86 g sodium chloride and 2.97 g potassium chloride. It is employed as a colon diuretic to cleanse the bowel for colonoscopy. Additing or using Gatorade to the volumne is fine.
