Colonoscopy Sutab/Suprep prep

[Chronsmommy]

Has anyone's kids done the pills? My 14 year old DD has to have a colonoscopy soon. In the past she's always thrown up the Miralax prep and the Citrate one about 3/4 of the way through. So her GI suggested trying Suprep this time, and she has the option to do the liquid or the pills. I'm wondering if the pills would be easier (24 pills split into two doses.) If you have experiences with the liquid version, was your child able to tolerate it? Thank you!

Have they given her zofran ?
Miralax plus ducolax prep?
Alternative drinks you mix it in
8 or 9 scopes for my adult child (he started at 7)
Gatorade plus miralax
But also flat sprite , clear kool aid , anything else clear permitted on the list in between
With zofran just in case

We haven't tried Zofran during prep. I'll ask her GI about it. Thanks!

Zofran is also a lifesaver here - my daughter finds that the kind that dissolves under the tongue (Zofran ODT - oral disintegrating tablet) works a lot better and faster than the regular pill!

I bet my daughter would love a pill prep vs. drinking a lot of liquid, she gets nauseous too.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!!
