1 DAY BEFORE PROCEDURE
STEP 1:

Begin a clear liquid diet in the morning by drinking the 1st bottle of Gatorade (64 ounces). CLEAR LIQUID DIET
Any Clear fruit juice, WITHOUT PULP, soft drinks, clear broth, (beef or chicken
bouillon is fine), coffee, tea, Kool-aid, Gatorade, Jello, Gelatin, and regular Popsicles,
any type of hard candy, but no soft centers or chocolate. No Milk or dairy products.
NOTHING WITH RED, BLUE OR PURPLE COLORING.

Between 4-6 pm take 2 DULCOLAX (bisacodyl) LAXATIVE TABLETS with water or
Gatorade. Swallow whole-do not chew or crush. You should have a bowel movement
within 1-2 hours. Diaper rash cream can be applied to your rectal area to decrease irritation.
Mix the entire container of GLYCOLAX POWDER into the 2nd Bottle of Gatorade (64
ounce)-it should completely dissolve. Chill in the refrigerator. Start drinking this liquid
after you have a bowel movement or within 2 hours of taking the Dulcolax-whichever
comes first. Drink 8 oz every 10 to 20 minutes over a period of 1-2 hours until you drink
the entire container. If you get chills or feel bloated, slow down and drink some warm clear
liquids.
IF you are passing clear bowel movements, you are finished. IF your bowel movements are
not clear, take 2 more DULCOLAX (bisacodyl) LAXATIVE TABLETS with water.
Nothing to eat or drink after midnight except small sips of water with your morning medications. Exceptions are listed on page 1.
