    Same. And worrying if it’s done a good enough job. The colonoscopy the time before my last one I had PEG solution and the magnesium citrate. Then I thought I was going to die. My blood pressure got really low and I couldn’t function for a couple days. The doctor had me on a re-check in 5 years so the colonoscopy I had last year they only had me do PEG along with the liquid diet and that was so much better. Still not pleasant but I didn’t get so weak and faint. I think there was a shortage of Mg citrate. If you can just do the PEG solution that might help and be enough. I don’t go back for 9 years and hopefully the blood test will be enough.
