Alternatives to drinking bowel prep? i'm a 100lb male that can't drink very much liquid.

Bowel prep: For a good colonoscopy the colon should be clean. Mag citrate comes in 8oz bottles. As long as you don't have kidney issues, drinking 2 bottles and using an enema until your stool is clear can be effective.
