Did you have any side effects using the DulcoLax/MiraLax with Gatorade Colonoscopy Prep?

Recently had about my 8th colonoscopy and yes they changed the prep. I had the Miralax, Bisacodyl, only I drank the miralax with juice. The only reason they tell you to use gatorade is because it's full of electrolytes which you need because with the BMs, you will loose a lot of your electrolytes most important, potassium. So if you like the taste of gatorade, ( I despise it) then use it. You will not be up all night. I was not. I started when I was told and I slept like a baby. Once this stuff takes effect, you will go not every hour, but more than that. It's very effective. Eat your Jello and stay home. Watch movies, but know this, there are no harsh side effects, no nausea, no vomiting. I didn't experience any of that. Good luck, and hope all comes out well, (Bad joke, sorry)
