I drank my 1 gallon of that not-so-golytely and I am pooping (or should I say pee-ing) yellow, but for some reason there are bits of white stuff. I haven't had any real brown/food "poop" since maybe the first few BM's. I am majorly freaking out (I have anxiety) because I don't know if this is "clean". It's 2 in the morning here and I am still going too.....

Not sure what the white stuff is...but it could be mucous. The fact that your are going yellow...you are likely clean enough. I would let your doc know that you had white discharge and describe it to him just so he has all the inofrmation.
GoLytely stinks..I understand...I was going yellow right up to my scopes on that stuff so I would not get to wound up on that.

its totaly fine, same thing happened to me and the nurse said it was fine. its ok if theres a little bit of stuff, its never going to come out perfectly clear so dont sweat it you'll be fine. it takes about a two days to get out of your system so dont worry if your going more than normal its just your bodys response to drinking a gallon of laxatives. good luck and hope everything goes smoothly, everythings gonna be ok :-)

I was worried I wouldn't be "cleaned out" in time for my last colonoscopy and I asked the nurse about it and she reassured me it was fine. That they actually have a "vacuum" like thing that helps to get the rest out of there is still some left. Not fun, but you'll be asleep so you won't know! haha
