During colonoscopy preparation, diarrhea typically lasts for several hours to a day, depending on the type and dosage of the laxative used. Most patients begin to experience diarrhea within a few hours of taking the prep solution. It is essential to stay hydrated during this time, as the fluid loss can lead to dehydration. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions for the best results.

When would NPO start for colonoscopy with a gallon of drink to do?

NPO (nil per os, or nothing by mouth) typically begins at midnight before the colonoscopy, especially if the procedure is scheduled for the morning. If the colonoscopy is in the afternoon, the healthcare provider may advise starting NPO 6-8 hours prior to the procedure. Patients will usually be instructed to consume the bowel prep solution, often a gallon of drink, the evening before the colonoscopy to ensure proper bowel cleansing. Always follow specific instructions given by your healthcare provider for optimal preparation.
