A member asked:
I take miralax (polyethylene glycol) sometimes, and i was wondering what can i do when it is time for a colonoscopy, for people who are used to stool softeners?

Best to : Discuss this with your GI doctor or colon and rectal surgeon who will be performing the procedure. Try drinking less caffeine and more fluid to 80 ounces per day or more and you will probably not need the MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) any longer.
