I have a colonoscopy scheduled, but I ate a meal (a burger at King Whopper) at 5 p.m. Should I still take the Magnesium Citrate, Dulcolax tablets and do the enema, or should I cancel the colonoscopy appointment? I did not realize that I was supposed to be on a clear liquid diet the entire day before the colonoscopy procedure. Should I continue or cancel?

You need to call your doctor to find out whether you need to cancel your colonoscopy.
