Timing of Miralax and stomach and colon cleaning in children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether the time you stop drinking Miralax before your procedure affects how much fluid stays in your stomach and how well your colon is cleaned. It may help make the procedure safer and more comfortable for children and teens.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be getting both an upper endoscopy (a scope to look at the stomach) and a colonoscopy (a scope to look at the colon) at the same time.

- Must be younger than 19 years old.
- Can't have certain stomach or intestinal conditions, such as delayed stomach emptying, a history of gastric sleeve surgery, or an ostomy.

This study looks at how placing an antegrade (forward-flow) continence enema and starting a bowel flush routine may change your gut microbiome (your gut bacteria). It is meant for children who have long-lasting constipation that required a special surgical drainage channel.
This trial compares two ways to clean the bowel before a colonoscopy: a 4-liter split-dose of a laxative plus two other medications versus a 2-liter split-dose with a gas-relief medication. The goal is to see which works better and is easier to tolerate.
This study tests whether a combination of magnesium sulfate and a low-volume bowel prep solution is safe and works well for cleaning the colon before a colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy, this could help make the prep easier while still being effective.
This study looks at how much clear liquid is left in the stomach after children drink different measured amounts before an endoscopy. The goal is to help make anesthesia and endoscopy safer by better understanding stomach “residual volume.”
This study tests a bowel-cleansing medicine called PLENVU against another medicine (sodium picosulfate) in children aged 1 to under 18 who need a colonoscopy. The goal is to see which one works better at cleaning the bowel before the procedure.
This study looks at how a common bowel prep medicine (PEG laxatives) affects gut bacteria in people who have had their gallbladder removed compared to those who still have one. It involves collecting stool samples before and after a colonoscopy to track changes over time.
