A member asked:
My husband is going in for colonoscopy today. is it ok to mix gatorade with colyte (polyethylene glycol)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: When colonoscopy is performed it its best for the colon to be clean. This can be accomplished with a liquid diet for 48 hrs preceding the procedure and no roughage for a few days before. Golytle is polyethylene glycol which draws fluid into the bowel and helps clean out the stool. Mixing with Gatoraide cant hurt. A fleets enema before also helps.
