I'm very worried because I don't want to have to do this again and I don't understand why it isn't working yet. Not only have I not eaten anything all day long to get ready, not I'm not doing anything for this scary procedure. What the heck to do?!
Suprep Bowel Prep Kit - Not working yet and I took it at 4 1/2 hours ago. I have gas but that's it?

It took 3 hours for my first prep to work! This is my third colonoscopy due to polyps three years ago! I called doctor at the 3 hour mark, and she suggested Miralax but before I could get it, all h#$@ broke loose.
I heard that doing a liquid or soft food diet would help as I have a redundant colon. I can’t say that it did or didn’t as SUPRAPREP was a new prep for me. Just finished my 2nd dose. I discovered that adding 2 packets of Crystal Light Lemonade made it much better and I chased it with sips of Sprite!
Praying everything clears. This site has helped so much with the prep! Thank you.
I would say drink more water. If you keep drinking water, eventually the diarrhea will come.
It is unusual that it is taking so long (4 1/2 hours is a long time). Are you sure you poured the entire first bottle into the cup and filled to the line with water? Then did you drink more plain clear water to the fill line per the instructions? My diarrhea started within about 20 - 30 minutes of drinking it, I think.
I just done taking this stuff it taste awful I kept drinking until I couldn't drink any more like gatorada and orange slashes lots of those or call the hospital or ask them what u do
