Bowl Prep Question

Postby doc1974 » Wed Jun 08, 2016 7:37 am

I have my bowl prep and reading the instructions for an upcoming colonoscopy ( Sodium sulfate , potassium sulfate & magnesium sulfate ) Super Bowl Prep Kit . It says that it may not be used if there is a blockage or severe constipation . I have pretty bad constipation and was wondering if anyone had experience with this prep and constipation ?

I would contact your GI doctor or hospital doing your colonoscopy & ask them...

Genetic high BP since age 22 (currently on Bystolic)

I agree with pathfinder. There are things you can do to help, but you want to speak with the doc or nurse in his office.

I haven't heard of that prep and have done 3 different ones. Yes, ask the doc.
