Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to assist you.
The colon ( large bowel) contains feces. So it has to be evacuated before colonoscopy can be done.
The powder stuff (Polyethylene Glycol 3350 NF Oral Powder ) that your doctor gave you is a laxative and it will clean out your colon.
You will have loose stools till your whole colon is cleared of stool. Initially it would be yellowish semi solid and later it would be watery.
Do not get scared.
Drink clear fluids like chicken broth , soups, fruit juices which will help to prevent you from getting dehydrated.
I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar Kini
