Nervous about Endoscopy and Colonoscopy Prep

I am scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy tomorrow. It was supposed to happen last week but I had a terrible reaction to the prep liquid and we had to reschedule. Nervous about taking SuTab pills for the prep today as I am trying to avoid negative reactions to it (not sure if side effect, dehydration or MCAS). The medical assistant gave me the option of taking Miralax or SuTab and I don’t know which to take. My body is super sensitive and this medical group isn’t hEDS nor MCAS aware so I don’t think they understand where I’m coming from or what’s going on in my body.
