Has anyone deviated a bit about 10 hours before first dose of plenvu . I.e had a bit of milk or a rich tea ….i know it is wrong to do so but just wondered I am not advising to do so but have just had milk in my tea by mistake

Don’t have the rich tea biscuit as well, and stick rigidly to it from now on.
I’ve filed colonoscopy reports and have seen some stating ‘poor bowel preparation’ where they’ve been able to see, meaning your problem may be missed if they judge they’ve seen enough, or you may have to go through the whole thing again if they felt it imperative to see everywhere.

I had a few teaspoons of milk in my tea on the morning of the scope and got top marks for my prep!

I had poor prep and followed the instructions to the letter. (I don't think the person doing the procedure believed me but I really did!). Had to repeat, and started the white diet 2 days earlier that time & it prep was then fine. At my first attempt there were still veg from about 6 days earlier present, it wasn't what I had eaten recently. I think my bowel must be quite slow.

Oh that's very disheartening to follow the instructions and still have to have the colonoscopy redone. What prep did you get? I had Plenvu (yuk!) and the results of what I took on the morning of the scope was a bit frightening. I was a little fascinated by the progress though, the change in colour as it came out. tmi, soz!
