Colonography with picolax- questions

Hi all. Long story short, when my info pack arrived for my colonoscopy it had a note saying painkiller isn't available, so i phoned the consultant and we switched to a ct colonography. I have that this afternoon, i was given picolax as i may be allerigic to something in the gastrografin. I had my first sachet yesterday morning and second around 3pm. How long until it wears off? Bowel movements had quitened down before bed but I've just had to get up twice to go. My stomach is rumbling a lot too, can i still have jelly in the morning before?

  • Hopefully some of our members will get back to you soon Tommy but as your appointment is this afternoon I'm going to give you our cancer nurses telephone number so you can give them a call and have a chat about this. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope it all goes well Tommy.

    Kind regards,
