I am scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy tomorrow. It was supposed to happen last week but I had a terrible reaction to the prep liquid and we had to reschedule. Nervous about taking SuTab pills for the prep today as I am trying to avoid negative reactions to it (not sure if side effect, dehydration or MCAS). The medical assistant gave me the option of taking Miralax or SuTab and I don’t know which to take. My body is super sensitive and this medical group isn’t hEDS nor MCAS aware so I don’t think they understand where I’m coming from or what’s going on in my body.

Some people have suggested using Miralax mixed with Gatorade or Pedialyte for colonoscopy prep, as it may be easier to tolerate. However, it's important to discuss your concerns and options with your healthcare provider to determine the best approach for your specific situation.
