Nervous about Endoscopy and Colonoscopy Prep

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.

thank you! They just called me back and recommended Dulcolax along with Milk of Magnesium. I’m really hoping I do okay with this all 🙏
