What Causes Diarrhea After 2 Round Of Failure In Colonoscopy?
I had Moviprep for colonoscopy and it failed to complete emptying and colonoscopy could not be performed. I tried another pack of moviprep and second attempt the same day still could not clear me for colonoscopy. Needless to say I rescheduled. That was 8 days ago. Since then I have had diarrhea and or constipation.

Hello,
Moviprep is indicated in adults for bowel cleansing prior to any clinical procedures requiring a clean bowel.
So, it stimulates diarrhea. The symptoms seem to be related to the use of Moviprep.
I suggest stopping using this medication. I recommend a daily probiotic and a healthy diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
