I’m scheduled for my first pouchoscopy In April and they ordered me SUTAB which is 24 tabs in water in 2 doses. It says it’s for a colonoscopy on the box! Yikes!! Anyone heard of this? I’m a little nervous!
thanks so much,
Kathy

My GI just had me do a liquid diet day before and 2 saline enemas morning of. Check with your doctor's office to double check. Good luck to you!!
That sounds like a bowel prep intended for a colonoscopy. Perhaps an office worker accidentally sent you the wrong instructions? That can happen. By comparison here’s the instructions my gastroenterologist gave me in January:
Definitely double check with your doctor. Wishing you all the very best!
There is no standard pouchoscopy prep, so there are many different approaches. My doctors use clear liquid for a day and and a solution of 1 bottle of Miralax(238 gmsor 8.5 oz.) I'm 64 oz. of Gatorade the evening before over a few hours.
Ditto to the above.
for my first two pouchoscopies, I did a half bottle of Miralax (248 gm) and 32 oz of gaterade.
GI told me clean out was satisfactory both times.
Mine was clear liquids the day before such as apple juice but nothing red or purple. The morning of the procedure, empty saline from Fleet enema bottle and refill with tap water twice. The product you've been asked to take sounds way too harsh.
Thank you all so much. I really appreciate all your comments and definitely will rechecked this out.

Clear liquids the day before. That’s it.
