I am having a barium enema tomorrow. My prep is a regular colonoscopy prep. When I call the radiology department they had no idea what a pouch was. The prep says to use a whole 255G of miralax and I have to take 4 dulcolax pills. If I have been on a clear liquid diet all day do I really need to do all this? I have taken half the miralax mixture and I am passing water stools.

I am in here waiting for it to begin and the doctor doing the test comes in and says "ok can you show me this pouch thing?" When i tell him its on thr inside he says "so you dont have a colon at all?" I said no and he rolled his eyes and said I have to have a colostomy then or I would be experiencing "dumping". They are calling someone else in.... i don't know if I should run or try to explain.
