:eek: My bowel prep instructions from the doc say take 4 Dulcolax at 10 am and 1 Reglan tablet at 11 am, then begin drinking the Nulyte at noon. Well, I went to take the Dulcolax at 11, and I hadn't read the papers from my doc since yesterday, and the Reglan bottle said take at the beginning of bowel prep so I TOOK IT! Anyone think this is going to be a problem? It's to help with nausea, so I wouldn't think it's going to some big problem. I'm to take another one at 6. None of the other doctors I've done preps for have cared whether I got nauseas from the prep, lol. At least this surgeon cares.

Nah, it should not be a problem. You were only off by an hour, right? Reglan is used not only for nausea, but to increase the gastric motility as well (as an IBS sufferer) If the dulcolax and golytely don't increase your motility, nothing will :).

Hi Wiilo

Lol, your story of screwing up the prep reminds me of what i did once.

I had to have a gastrograph follow through, it meant i had to drink 100mls of something called gastrgraphin, which tastes vile. i was meant to mix it with two pints of water, but i drank it neat!!!!

A few hours later i couldnt get off the toilet!!! I had serious diarrhea, so bad i was running to the toilet every 10 minutes!!

I am having to drink the same stuff today, but fortunately the hospital is preparing it for me!!!!
