So this is the first time with this combination and it doesn't seem to be working. All the other preps I have used worked great! Should I be concerned? Been about two hours and nothing, some gurgling but that's it. On other preps the river was way flowing by now

Last Thursday, I did 4 Dulcolax at 4 pm. Then miralax at 6 pm and thought the same thing. The Dulcolax didn't do much, the miralax eventually got things going. I was pooing yellow liquid like urine by 11 pm, so I didn't have to do the magnesium citrate "if necessary".
I was clean, I wasn't sure when I got there Friday morning but they said I was cleaned out.

I have only gone three times, no watery diarrhea at all.....I'm really irritated right now...I'm suppose to do another bottle at seven in the morning

Can you call where you are having the procedure? I would rather know now than too late to do the scope.

I'm prepping today, too. Dulcolax (bisacodyl) and Golytely. The dulcolax really kicked it into gear for me within 2 1/2 hours... Horrible cramps. :( I took two more dulcolax at 7:00 this evening...Now I have to get up at 3:00 AM and drink the other half of Golytely.

I did a mag citrate prep last year. I thought it would work right away but it took several hours. I started at 6 pm things didn't really get going until 10 pm or so.

I did this method once and just like others it took a lot longer to kick in than the GoLytely jugs..
