Tomorrow I get my first colonoscopy. It’s a Dulcolax/Miralax/gas-x/magnesium citrate combo. I’ve read a lot of old things on here.
My question is, has anyone ever tried just taking the Miralax, starting earlier than 5 pm and only taking the Dulcolax if Miralax doesn’t do the job? I am chronically constipated, which is different than most people with crohns, but I’m still wondering if anyone has tried Miralax only and taken Dulcolax afterwards if nothing is happening. I’m probably stressing more about this than necessary.
Also, the magnesium citrate is to be taken tomorrow, but only if I haven’t cleared out completely. I haven’t eaten meals in over two weeks so I don’t have a lot in here (only an egg or rice cooked 8 cups water to one cup rice). Been drinking lots of almond milk these last couple of weeks.
Sorry if I’m asking the same thing, and I appreciate the one person who shared her experience...
Thank you!
