Colonoscopy Preparation Instructions (Miralax Preparation)

 This document provides step-by-step instructions for completing the Miralax colonoscopy preparation, including necessary supplies, dietary restrictions, and medication adjustments. You must follow all timing guidelines carefully, arrive 30 minutes early with a driver, and ensure your bowel is fully cleansed for an accurate procedure. 

The document provides detailed instructions for preparing for a colonoscopy using the Sutab regimen, including medication adjustments, dietary restrictions, and timed dosing steps. It also outlines arrival requirements, driving restrictions, and special guidance for patients with cardiac or diabetic conditions.

An endoscopy (also called an upper GI scope or EGD) is a simple procedure that allows your doctor to look inside your upper digestive system. A thin flexible tube with a tiny camera on the end is gently guided through your mouth so the doctor can see your esophagus, stomach, and the beginning of your small intestine (the duodenum).
The camera sends clear, enlarged images to a monitor helping the doctor check for irritation, inflammation, or other changes. If needed, the doctor can take a very small tissue sample (called a biopsy) to help understand your results more closely. The procedure is safe, quick and done with your comfort in mind.
A flexible sigmoidoscopy (sometimes called a “flex-sig”) is a simple procedure that lets your doctor check the lower part of your colon and rectum to help keep your digestive system healthy.
A soft, flexible tube with a small camera at the tip is gently guided a short distance into the colon. This allows the doctor to clearly see the lining of your lower colon and rectum.
A capsule endoscopy is a simple, comfortable way for your doctor to check the health of your small intestine – the part of your digestive system that connects your stomach to your large intestine. It helps the doctor see areas that can’t be reached with a standard endoscopy.
You’ll swallow a small, pill-sized capsule that contains a tiny camera and light. As it naturally travels through your digestive system, it gently takes pictures of the inside of your small intestine. The images are sent to a small recorder that you’ll wear on your body. After the capsule has passed through, your doctor will review the images to get a clear look at your small intestine and gather helpful information. The capsule leaves your body naturally, and you can go about your day normally during the process.
