Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of current standard of care Polyethylene
Gylcol powder (PEG-P)colonoscopy preparation on a patient's serum electrolytes, tolerance of
the prep, and how well the bowel is cleansed. The primary aim is to determine the proportion
of patients with clinically significant serum electrolyte abnormalities at the time of
colonoscopy and how well the prep is tolerated. Secondary objectives include: 1) how well the
bowel is cleansed with this preparation, and 2) to determine the most effective way to
communicate instructions about the bowel preparation with the child and family.
