Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow using the two-stage method with the prep liquid. Unfortunately, I mixed a lot of crystal lite packs into a pre-flavored mix jug. I now have read that I should not have done this. I have completed half of the prep, and I am passing only light yellow liquid. I have the other half of the jug to consume tomorrow morning. Have I ruined the test?
