When do you have the next dose?  The second one really made my bowel clear.

Hi LumpyBumpy123 and thanks for posting.

Hopefully you will have found that your bowel prep worked overnight and you have gone for your procedure today.

It can take a few hours to work, but then you often find that you have diarrhoea and are able to go ahead with the colonscopy.  If the bowel prep didn't have the desired effect your team will be able to tell you what you should do now.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You might like to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care,

Rachel

Thank you for your replies it did eventually work and the second dose this morning helped too,
