What Causes Vomiting During Bowel Preparation Before A Colonoscopy?
I m having a colonoscopy done tomorrow. I took 4 Wong dulcolax laxatives @noon. Then I was instructed to drink a glass of miralax (8 ounces )mixed with a sports drink (64 ounces ) every 15 minutes , to be consumed within 2 hours. 32 ounces went down and stayed down fine. About 1 hour later i was throwing up. Then i tried to drink the other 32 ounces , i fell a couple of ounces short and threw up more violently. Im a diabetic but i wasnt concerned about drinking Gatorade. After i got sick i took my blood surgar and it was 179. Question. Should i finish the few ounces i have left? Will they still be able to do the test?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, once the course of drug being given for some illness then it has to be finished and can not be left in between unless it fails to respond or clinical condition becoming critical or worse, ideally after the course finishes test need to be done for confirmation of cure hope this information helps.
