First seen Jan 28, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This small pilot study tests whether the drug linaclotide, taken with Gatorade, can clean the bowel well enough for a colonoscopy. Ten adults scheduled for a colonoscopy will take two doses of linaclotide and drink 2 liters of Gatorade instead of the standard 4 liters of polyethylene glycol. The goal is to see if this simpler regimen provides adequate bowel preparation.
