HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

You may not be clean for the test . The peg3350 would work by causing retention of water and thereby stimulating stool loss, if you vomited the solution then it may not have the chance to work.

You may want to use small amounts more frequently.

If you had repeated bowel movements even though you vomited the solution then it is possible that you are clean.

I hope this helps
