I only had to limit my diet the day before. The day of the prep just a clear diet(soups, drinks, jello, etc.)...no red gatorade or jello, though. They’ve made the prep so much easier...Miralax is so much better than the stuff they used to make you drink (magnesium citrate.)

That's good news, because I have to do that and Duco Lax in October. The last time I had a colonoscopy, I threw up the magnesium citrate crap they told me to take.

On another note, I had to have a temporary colostomy in July and have to have a colonoscopy before they will go back in and reverse it. Has anyone had experience having this procedure with a colostomy? I understand they go in through the stoma. And, I'm assuming I should take a change of bag since they'll end up taking off the one I'll be wearing. Any advice or helpful info would be greatly appreciated.
