a gallon, 8 oz should be drank every 10 minutes until the patient is done with the gallon
I wouldn't worry about drinking water if I were you mate
A colonoscopy
Prior to a colonoscopy, you will not eat ANYTHING for about 16 hours. You will drink a LOT of fluids and use a laxative to completely empty your colon.
The patient is advised to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. The evening before the test, the patient will have to take a strong laxative that the doctor has prescribed. Several 1 qt enemas of warm tap water may have to be taken
Yes, but not shortly before a colonoscopy.
If you are the one performing the colonoscopy, sure. If you are the one getting 'scoped you better ask your doctor. They usually tell you to stop eating solids 24 hours before and give you a gallon or two of something to clean you out that you have to drink before.
no
It is recommended to drink a laxative tea once a day, preferably at night before you go to bed.
Red or purple juices should be avoided, since they can cause coloring of the colon that may be misinterpreted during the colonoscopy.

Yes, actually, it does make a mild laxative. Drink enough of it and it will make a great laxative.
No, the doctor will not give him Gatorade for preparing for a colonoscopy. At the visit before the colonoscopy, he will be given very specific directions as to what to eat and drink the days and night before. If he follows those, he should be fine after the procedure. Usually clear liquids are recommended, and Gatorade has coloring.
Anything would improve the previous answer. Though the question is crap so whatever.
