Hi,

I have recently had my first two colonscopy. Both times were
unsuccessful because they say the clean out was not good enough.

The first I simply got a Fleet kit and followed the instructions. The
second time I added a day of soups (not clear), followed by a bottle
of Mag Citrate at bedtime, then a day of clear broths, and a gallon of
Golitely with four laxative pills as instructed

Nonetheless when morning arrived I was only passing a bit (less than a
cup) of brown water. At least 5 more times, cups(or less) of brown
water untill the colonscopy which was at 2 PM (again unsuccessful)

So.... I am again scheduled for another attempt. Thus my query.

What can I do to achieve a successful clean out?

If clean out is still not complete, is there some way the doctor can
irrigate to clear things up?

Usually an iso-osmotic polyethyleneglycol prep (PEG) prep like GoLytely or Colyte is used when the Fleets prep doesn't work. Plus, there's that nasty little liability problem with phosphate-induced renal failure with phospha soda in a certain subset of patients.

Howard--

I had my first colonoscopy 2 years ago at age 53. I was given phosphosoda as my prep, and it worked well.
I only heard of the renal risk afterwards. Is this predictable based on patient medical history, or should it just be avoided?
