It depends greatly on what bowel preparation regime is used for the colonoscopy. Different centres and endoscopists have their own regimes, which can range from just 3 small cups of laxative fluid, to over 3 Litres of a bowel cleansing agent.

Speak to your endoscopist on their advice regarding mitigating the experience of bowel preparation with respect to the chosen preparation regime.
