Anyone who has had a colonoscopy...

I need to ask you a question. My husband has tried twice now to have one done and both time the prep did not work for him. He was supposed to have one done today but the pills he was prescribed only made him throw up. The dr told him to get magnesium citrate from the pharmacy. It also made him throw up. So Im wondering if anyone else has had this much problems with the prep? Ive talked to a few people and they are all kinda shocked that it didnt work. Now he is really feeling horrible today and has not gotten up or eaten or drank anything all day and I am waiting on the dr to call me back to find out what to do. Reading online (bad idea I know) it says if you do not have a bowel movement after taking the prep there could be a serious problem which really only makes me worry more about him. He has been getting sick alot lately and ended up in the hospital ER from one of the sickness bouts which is why they are wanting to do the colonoscopy to begin with.
