Caitlin Haight provides instructions for a Miralax and Gatorade prep regimen. It involves picking up 64 ounces of Gatorade, 238 grams of Miralax (1 bottle of 14 daily doses), and a box of Dulcolax or bisacodyl 5-mg tablets (4 tablets needed). Mix the Miralax with the Gatorade. At 2:00 PM, take four Dulcolax tablets. At 5:00 PM, drink 32 ounces of the Miralax mixture in 1 cup increments every 15 minutes. Five hours before your procedure the next day, drink the remaining 32 ounces of the mixture. If your procedure is at noon, drink the final portion at 7:00 AM. This completes the preparation.
How long is it going to take to finish your bowel prep? It can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours. Plan to be near a restroom during that time. Even if you have diarrhea before you've started your prep, we need to make sure that your colon is completely clean. So, please make sure that you continue with your prep as scheduled. If you feel nauseous while taking the prep, we recommend taking a short break for 15 minutes to an hour and then resuming the prep. What happens if you vomit up some of your prep? It's okay. We recommend taking a short break for 15 minutes to an hour and then resuming the prep as best as you can. If you have any questions, please call our office. When you finish your whole prep, we want to ensure that your bowel movement is yellow, so we want to be able to see through to the bottom of the toilet. What happens if you're not cleared out after taking both halves of your prep? We want to make sure that you continue your clear liquids until you come in for your procedure. We still want to see you for your procedure, even if you're not quite clear yet. Please call our office and still come in for your procedure.
