Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)-Induced Anaphylactic Reaction During Bowel Preparation

Few allergic reactions from this product have been reported; these include urticaria, angioedema, and anaphylaxis. Reactions are thought to result from a small amount of PEG crossing the intestinal mucosa, which, in some patients, is sufficient to provoke an anaphylactic reaction.
