Feeling so daft! I’ve read all the info & you have to avoid red or purple foods because they can interfere with viewing during the procedure. I had a few slices from a jar in a cheese sandwich earlier. My appointment is 10am Friday but everyone is asked to arrive at that time. It’s a morning appointment though. Will it be ok? The endoscopy dept is closed so I can’t phone.

Just phone up tomorrow morning and check. It’s still two days away so maybe they can suggest something? Are you having moviprep

It’s called Plenvu

Get it down pronto. You can always pick some more up from pharmacy (picolax is a brand name)

I personally wouldn’t worry too much. They are cautious with their timings. Just follow the instructions for the plenvu. Mention it during your checking in questions but I really wouldn’t worry.
