My doctor has scheduled a capsule endoscopy for 7:00 am day after tomorrow. The written instructions say to take 4.1 oz MIRALAX with 32 oz water at 5:00 am that morning. His office staffer says I will be able to go to work that day as usual after the capsule is swallowed, then return to their office at 3:00 pm. I am very concerned about diarrhea during that time at work. Should I take day off work that day?
Thanks for reply
Will 4.1 oz of MIRALAX mixed with 32 oz water cause diarrhea?
