Movi prep hasn’t worked!

Hey! I’m new to this, but did anyone else’s movi prep not work at all?

I took my 1st litre at 1pm today and then again at 6pm! And nothing! No bowel movement nothing, all I’ve had is stomach pain and growling? It’s now 12 hours since I took the first dose, I keep drinking but still no luck? I’m due my procedure at 9am but I can only assume that it won’t go ahead as I’ve not cleared out at all? Please someone tell me they’ve had the same??

Thanks you

Xxxx

Hi, I had the same problem, ended up carrying out a self administered enema/colonic flush. Consultant commented that my bowel was the cleanest he had seen that day, with a lot less discomfort that goes along with moviprep.
