Procedure Prep Instructions
Prep instructions can be found by clicking the tab below for the appropriate procedure and bowel prep that was prescribed to you by your provider. If you were unable to pick up your prescription from the pharmacy, please call our office during regular business hours to request a new prescription be sent to your pharmacy and confirm the pharmacy on file is correct. The Miralax Bowel Prep can be purchased over the counter at any local pharmacy and does not need a prescription.
What To Expect
Drinking this preparation increases bowel movements, and diarrhea are often experienced; plan to be near a bathroom. This is normal as it means the medication is working to clear stool from your colon. Most people feel mild bloating and mild abdominal cramps. This is normal. Drinking the prep medication more slowly and over a longer period of time can help alleviate these symptoms. A successful colon prep will cause you to have clear yellow (“tea-colored”) liquid stools.
Please finish your preparation regardless of your stool color.

“I have been a patient for 7 years. I have had a couple issues with scheduling mistakes that were not my fault, but this is made up for by the kindness and professionalism of the staff. I have been very pleased with the overall service and plan on continuing to see the folks at KCGI.”
“I was referred to this practice by my Primary Care physician. I saw Janay Kissinger and was very pleased with our consultation. She reviewed my file and my history. She was very thorough and made me feel comfortable. Although, I didn’t need any follow up, I would not hesitate to see her again.”
