Anyone have a list of colonoscopy preps?

[Nigella_Sativa]

So far I have read about Osmoprep, Moviprep, and Miralax. Can anyone name some others and does anyone know of one that does not contain PEG (polyethylene glycol)?
Thank you.

Can't help you sorry. but I'm sure someone will.

That's okay. Btw I just read about something called SuPrep, so as of now I am wondering what ingredients that contains.

Picolax - not sure about ingredients

 

[Tracey1788]

Citramag 2 sachets and 10 senna tablets, Also Kleenprep if renally impared

I took Visicol once for a prep and it made me so sick I had to reschedule the colonoscopy. It also re-activated my Crohns which had been in remission for many years. My pharmacist (who didn't carry it, so I had to go to Walgreens) told me it was like swallowing Drano. Needless to say, I fired the doctor who prescribed it and got myself a new doctor.

Ironically, I was eager to try something new because I hate drinking the electrolyte solution so much. I thought it would be so much easier just to take a few pills. But those few pills just about killed me. I will never try anything other than the electrolyte solution again. It is just so much gentler on your system.

I always gulp it down, 8 oz at a time, while holding my breath and while still holding my breath I take a big swig of listerine, and then spit the mouthwash out. So long as I can't taste it, it doesn't make me gag. The doctor I currently see has patients take the solution in two stages, so that makes it a bit easier, too.

We use two quarts of Gatorade (any light colored flavor) and a bottle of miralax mixed in. Also, four dulcolax stool softeners before that. Love it compared to go~lightly(gallon) and prep.

Picolax is the only one I can stomach(excuse the pun). In particular Clean Prep & Fleet make me vomit badly.

For the last few colonoscopies I've been given a small bottle of senna liquid and two sachets of Citrafleet. The Citrafleet is fairly palatable but the big advantage is that you only mix it with 150ml of water which makes it a lot easier to face than being confronted by a huge jug of liquid.
