Colonoscopy Prep While on SCD?!

By no means am I new to colonoscopies…but this time I have a new prep my doctor wants me to use which involves scd ILLEGAL stuff!!

Since I am new to SCD, just into my 3rd week, I’m afraid this will set me back to day one! It’s with dulcolax, miralax and gatorade G2. This stuff is loaded with illegals, isn’t it? Does anyone else have experience with this prep? I’m assuming it’ll reintroduce the “bad” stuff into my system! All this hard work for nothing?! AHHHH! My test isn’t for a few more weeks, but GEEZ, I would hate for this to screw me up now! I’ve done all the others in the past…phosphasoda (which my doc said isn’t used any longer!), that “lyte” stuff…in which you drink gallons upon gallons of nasty syrup-like water, those dreaded horse pills, which made me vomit!, etc. So I was excited to hear him say he wants me to use this new one…but that was before I heard about scd and decided to give it a whirl. He really doesn’t want me to do anyother prep so I’m stuck. Any experiences out there? THANKS!
