i am thinking of calling the office back at three to see why he hasn't returned my call.i am really scared that the colonscopy will find something awful.

Hi Bobby, glad you talked with the doctor. The mag citrate bottle is10 oz, but you could take only half, 5oz. Also, you will need to take an 8oz glass of water/liquid with each dose. If that does not help, then try the other half the following day. In case this does work, you should stay close to a toilet. Also, you will still need to use the Phillips at least once a day. Should you decide to give this a try, it would probably be good to talk with the pharmacist as well.
I never did take a supository; but did take Miralax almost every day; but still got blocked up. Actually looked up fecal incontinence. Because of the blockage, wasn't closing all the way so whatever little the Miralax did, it kind of started coming thru without my knowledge at times. Had to use a liner for just in case purposes. Also kept liners in my purse at all times as well if needed to change. Would not be much; but still there would be something on the liner. It was when I was looking up the fecal incontinence that I came across the mag citrate and Phillips recommendation.
