Does Dulcolax Cause Profuse Sweating And Abdominal Pain?

Wife is prepping for colonoscopy. Took 4 Dulcalax and then 2 hours later she started with the Miralax. She became sick. Profuse sweating, intense abdominal pain. She was lying on the bathroom floor in agony for 40 minutes. Symptoms seems to have passed. She seems to think it is the Dulcalax because symptoms appeared just minutes after drinking an 8 oz. glass of miralax
