Good morning

my son was diagnosed with Crohn disease 5 last January and now his level of fecal calprotectin is 1700.

he need to have a colonoscopy and endoscopy, and for the preparation the doctor prescribed PICOPREP, but this power can't be used for crohn disease and stomach ulcers.

somebody used PICOPREP the day before preparation for colonoscopy?

I would appreciate your response.

Regards
