Double Prep Advice
I'm a 47 y/o female and originally went in for an endoscopy/colonoscopy on 4/20, but my doctor was only able to complete the endoscopy because my colonoscopy prep was incomplete.
I have CIC (chronic idiopathic constipation) and take prescription Linzess, but unfortunately the Suprep did NOT work well enough the first time.
Now I have a new colonoscopy scheduled for 6/8, and this time my doctor has me doing an extended/double prep using 2 full Suprep kits (4 bottles total).
Has anyone else had to do this? Any advice or tips would really help.
These are my instructions:
• 5 days before (Wednesday 6/3/26): Start taking 1 dose of Miralax daily
• 3 days before (Friday 6/5/26): Start a clear liquid diet for 3 full days + take 1 bottle of Magnesium Citrate at 7pm
• 2 days before (Saturday 6/6/26): First set of Suprep — 1st dose at 2pm, 2nd dose at 8pm
• 1 day before (Sunday 6/7/26): Second set of Suprep — 1st dose at 2pm, 2nd dose at 8pm
So basically I’ll be on clear liquids starting Friday and doing a very aggressive prep because of the CIC.
I’m honestly dreading the hunger part and not looking forward to it, but I’m determined to get through it this time.
If anyone has experience with a double prep or has suggestions for filling clear liquids/broths/jello/etc that helped you get through it, I’d really appreciate it. 😁
Thank you!
