Colonoscopy

Scheduled for a colonoscopy in the next week. Was already told to ask for propofol as that would be the safest for breastfeeding.

My prep is 2 days before drink magnesium citrate.

Day before clear liquids all day. Then at 3pm take 4 Ducolax tabs. Followed by a bottle of miralax mixed with 64 oz Gatorade.

I’ve been reading horror stories of the ducolax causing severe abdominal cramps and feeling like death.

What is your experience? Will I be able to care for my baby who is under one? Already plan on putting a pack N play in the bathroom as I expect to be in there all night.

Is there any foods I should actually try and eat the day before I start the prep so help with cramping?

Thanks!
