Colonoscopy

My son is due to have a colonoscopy tomorrow he has been very ill with abdominal pain and constantly going to the toilet . The problem is now he took the first drink and afterwards he vomited now we aren’t sure if he should take the second and third drinks or call and cancel . Could anyone tell me please if they know what we should do ? He has waited about 8 months for this appointment so don’t want to cancel . The clinic closed and we have no one to advise . Many thanks

  • Hi I had the drinks a few weeks ago ,I managed the first one I vomited the second one but the first one had started to work so I still went the next morning and it was fine ,I would see how he gets on with the second drink if he keeps that down he could be ok ,I only had 2 drinks for a morning appointment ,if he doesn't keep it down you will have to let them know and see what they suggest .
