Colon prep: When you have problems like electrolyte imbalance needs special attention, consider getting admitted the previos day so that while getting the colon cleaned the electrolytes could be repleced IV.

POTS colo prep: My guess is this is going to be tricky and therefore I would discuss with your POTS Dr. who knows you best. Tell them about past problems with prep.
