Colonoscopy question i get dehydrated pretty quickly what is the best prep for the job to keep me safe golytely (polyethylene glycol) or other products?

Depends: This depends on the preferences of your colonoscopist. It is unlikely you will get dehydrated with the prep because all of the preps require you to drink twice as much water after the prep bottle.
