Colonoscopy tomorrow, moviprep not working

Hello all. Any experience of moviprep?

Having colonoscopy at 4 tomorrow.

Had first litre of moviprep at 3. Lots of water. Second litre due tomorrow morning.

Have had watery diarrhea but nowhere near clear fluid, just like bad diarrhea.

Bit worried now - will second lot work?

Would love any experiences or advice.

Thanks so much!

Have you been drinking plenty of extra fluid? A litre on top of the recommended amount. Ex H was a regular for colonoscapies, I've only had 1, but concider myself to be good at the prep. Drink more! And good luck.

Sorry you are struggling

a family member had to do this a lots when I was younger

like pp say you need to make sure you are drinking lots of water

hope it’s starts working soon for you 🤞

Thanks I have necked at least 2 litres of water, will keep going.

Tbh - and tmi - have been constipated for ages, so surely that's not helping.

2 litres sounds good, after saying drink lots, don't crazy and do yourself a mischief! Have a good rest and start again in the morning.

For future readers: the second lot of moviprep eventually worked, right at the end. I was still not really sure, but they said it was fine. Good luck.
