“Colonoscopy prep?”
My husband has a colonoscopy this morning and we did the prep wrong yesterday. You're supposed to empty the whole bottle of the solution into 64oz of water or Gatorade. Then do 8oz of the solution drink every 15 minutes. We were doing 8 oz with 17g a capful every 15 minutes. The reason we did it this way is that since he gets constipated, we were advised to take it this way at breakfast lunch, and dinner two days prior. He is using the bathroom but I’m scared since we did the prep wrong something may go wrong. Dehydration is my main concern with too much Miralax, not enough fluid.

Sounds like you are on the right track. In our practice we put patients on protein only starting three days before cleansing ( meats,eggs,protein) which makes the cleansing super easy with very low volume prep
