Bowel Prep, how long should this take?
Ok, so I know it varies but I was wondering how long until this kicks into gear? I took 4 Dulcolax at 12:30 & 32 oz of Gatorade with Miralax at 3 & now 4 more Dulcolax at 5:30. Still nothing! Should I wait it out or take more? I was really hoping to get it started early so I could maybe still get some sleep in tonight.
Any suggestions?

Re: Bowel Prep, how long should this take?
I would think it should start any moment now. Maybe try walking around and see if that helps. If it doesn't start soon, I might call the on call doc to ask if it is ok to take more Miralax or if you should do something different.
Sending best wishes and hopes that it works.

I agree, try moving around. Mine started working within about 30 min. Lasted 8 hours.

It finally kicked in at 9:25 pm! Wow! So glad I started it early instead of waiting until 4pm.
