Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 There is no need to drink that stuff any longer. There are pills, however it's a LOT of pills and you still need to drink a lot of water. It is, in my opinion, much better. That other stuff was just down right ugly!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 It didn't hurt me at all, because I was completely konked out. I wasn't aware of a thing. I don't know what was in that IV, but it was good stuff, lol. The worst part is spending all of that time in the bathroom beforehand.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I too was out, and when I woke it was if nothing had happened. The cleanout is the only bad part.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I don't think you can drink pop, you can have water, sports drink (sugared/flavored water), and I think also, clear broth.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 There should be no discomfort or pain from the colonoscopy. Generally you are either asleep or in la-la land. The rough part is the cleaning out. It's most unpleasant but I would not call it painful. Patsy El Mirage, AZ DX 2005 Stage 1 PBC AIH/SLE/RA/COPD Just a woman of letters....

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I agree with Patsy. I had one several years ago and the toughest part was the cramping and time before the test that you spend in the restroom. I was given a little something to relax me but was awake and they kept telling me to look at the screen. No thank you. I just felt a little discomfort but nothing too bad.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 , The purpose of a colonoscopy is to see if there are polyps, lesions, pockets or other problems in your colon . . . It's doubtful they'll find out why you're constipated . . . One thing for sure, by the time you have the exam, you'll be thoroughly cleaned out!. A gastro doctor can tell you . .. Usually they don't do this test until you're older, or have a specific problem that fits their criteria. Increasing your intake of Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc/Vitamin D until you're no longer constipated will probably help with muscle pain and sleep as well.
