what prep shld be used as i was told dulcolax and now 1 day b4 prep and find it has gluten...my gastro messed up on this one..

Can you share the link that indicates the Dulcolax has gluten? I searched online and couldn't find it. I did see that the Australian site for Dulcolax says it's gluten free. But that doesn't mean the US version is. They may also have different definitions of gluten-free.

You can try looking at the inactive ingredients for the kind you have here. I only looked at the pink tablets which used corn starch and were gluten-free:

Sucrose is just sugar, the type you might put into your coffee or tea.  Is this a typo and there is another ingredient you’re worried about?

thank you...prep and colonoscopy done and over without any issues other then the norm...drinking prep and no sleep for 2 nights...up and down..i was fortunate to have had a false positive which led to the colonoscopy and 5 polyps removed..all benign...whew!

Which reminds me that I'm probably overdue for the same...

Glad you got through it and that everything was benign!
