Should I Be Concerned With No BM Even 3 Hrs After Taking Miralax Mixture When Due For Colonoscopy The Next Day?
I m having a colonoscopy tomorrow; have followed the instructions about using the Miralax mixture, which I finished 3 hours ago. Still haven t had a bowel movement, doesn t feel like anything s happening. I thought I d starting pooping within an hour or so. Should I be concerned?
Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query. Usually it works within 1-2 hours,but it may be longer depending on food that you ve eaten. You need to increase dosage of Miralax and drink plenty of fluids. However,even if you dont get BM colonoscopy may be succesfull but in some cases you need to repeat it so consult your doctor about it. WIsh you good health. Regards
