Colonoscopy Prep I'm am due for another colonoscopy and have a GI appt in morning to discuss prep options. 10 years ago I did miralax and a bunch of fluid. I am on a bit of a fluid restriction (doc said it would be OK) but too much fluid also can give me weird beats. which I can handle as long as they don't stay. A friend used Clenpiq but I noticed that people with long QT and other arrhythmias are not recommended for that. What have ya''ll used for prep? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198928,198928#msg-198928 Mon, 24 Aug 2026 23:55:46 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198928,199335#msg-199335 Re: Colonoscopy Prep https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198928,199335#msg-199335 Also, was told to stop taking natto a week before -- it can stick on the camera.
I followed the prep instructions to the letter.
But the result was that the colon was still not fully visible. So I've been scheduled for another in a year.]]> TomR AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 07 Apr 2025 01:55:07 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198928,199040#msg-199040 Re: Colonoscopy Prep https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198928,199040#msg-199040

I am going to use magnesium citrate oral solution.
This site wants does colonoscopy prep using 2 bottles magnesium citrate + Dutcolax. Am debating whether to skip the Dutcolax

From years ago, GoLytely was suggested as a bowel prep that spares electrolytes. I used it ~15 years ago without issue, But more recently talked them in to letting me use a bunch of magnesium citrate. That worked as well.

Did you just get your own magnesium citrate or get those ittle bottles of it? Does that spare electrolytes? That is one I was going to ask him about. Also did you do any replenishing of electrolytes? I'm not a 'gatorade" person with the artificial stuff and sugar in it but I was reading that Smart Water is just for taste. Curious if you supplemented your water with additional electrolytes as well.]]> bettylou4488 AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 11 Feb 2025 03:36:51 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198928,198930#msg-198930 Re: Colonoscopy Prep https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198928,198930#msg-198930 GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 11 Feb 2025 03:34:16 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198928,198928#msg-198928 Colonoscopy Prep https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198928,198928#msg-198928 bettylou4488 AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 11 Feb 2025 03:10:16 +0000
