I am having a colonoscopy next week to try and treat a condition, to avoid surgery. My doc says to take senna at night for 5 days prior to it leaves me feeling so nauseus.

When I had a colonoscopy it was diagnostic and I was given picolax to take 24 hours in advance combined with a bland, white diet for 24/48 hours.

Thanks @RosesAndHellebores I previously had simmilar prep.

This time its 5 days of senna at night
2 days before low residue diet. Low residue breakfast day before then clear fluids

I will be taking plenvu.

The nausea at night is tough though.
