I am scheduled to have upper and lower scopes done tomorrow. But I think last night and today I’m having a little bit of a blockage. I have had a couple small, loose stools so I’m not worried about complete blockage. My question is, do I stand a chance of really racking things once I start doing the prep?

I’ve got Dulcolax and Miralax, not GoLytely. Just take it slowly and see how it goes?
 
Hi Nancy.....sorry you have to go through all this but it’s the only way to get sorted
The prep has to be done ...don’t worry about anything else.
I had strictures in colon and esophagus...scopes were done ...prep was awful that’s the worst part
Then the scopes.
The GI widened both areas and it worked well....that was nine months ago and he has rescheduled more scopes for September.
Good luck and hope it’s all straightforward for you
Feel better soon

They’re not able to get all the way into the stricture so I don’t think widening during scopes is possible. I got through it but am having the same pain as before. I was hoping being cleared out would help. They found a weird thing with my appendix (there was already a fistula there) that seems to have inverted into my bowel or something.
