Bowel Preparation and Diet

[@kriswittak6890]

This was a great video! Also if anyone sees this and you are completely terrified like I was 2 months ago. I want you to know this was a breeze! There is NO WAY you are terrified anymore than I was!!!! The only thing I felt was the IV going on my hand. Other than that the only bad part was starving for 2 days 😂. Don’t worry! You will be fine!!

[@maxineglenn2843]

Please tell me how was the prep solution. Did you cramp up, did you throw up and did you drink it all?

[@gracehall9199]

Wow, this is so informative, thank you is so much for sharing. ❤

Going in Thursday morning (two days from now) and I flipped out because I ate a rice cake with cream cheese and an egg on top. Turns out that was a good choice. It's going to be difficult trying to remember what I can and can't eat. Just looking forward to getting it done and over with.

This video just answered my question 😅⬇️tysm have a wonderful day/night y'all

The only tough part for me was going to the toilet 30-45 times. Get Tucks are baby wipes (do not flush in toilet) to make your bottom feel better.

[@romainerichards4108]

I feel you on that one

[@lori9410]

Definitely have the baby wipes on standby

Video is well done. Thanks!!!!

Question about not eating citrus fruit: Does this apply to drinking lemonade? Thanks for your time.

[@Quit3Cut3]

Citrus fruit has pulp, I would avoid it.

[@maxineglenn2843]

Thank you for this video, my colonoscopy is approaching Dec 5th at 9:30. I just want to get it over, I have anxiety about drinking the prep solution, getting it down and keeping it down. I've never been a person to consume lots of liquid wheter its juice or water. Def going to try these tips hard candy or ginger ale and will be asking the Lord help me.

[@chellebelle1970]

im the same way. i will gag if i drink too much (of anything) but i bought a big thing of ginger ale and mixed the miralax in the ginger ale n got it cold n poured it into a glass and sipped all day and it wasn’t bad. im assuming ur drinking miralax and not the “go lightly”

[@maxineglenn2843]

@chellebelle1970 hi I did my colonoscopy back in Dec. Yes I took the 2-3 Ducolax each time and 2 bottles of MiraLax. One bottle prep with Gatorade and then next bottle prep with lemonade. The lemonade was so much better. It worked well, too. I started the prep a day before my colonoscopy I wanted to be sure it worked and I would be clean enough, and I was clean. They removed 2 polyps, and everything went well and I return in 5 years. I did get lightheaded and fell when I came home, but I know that was from fasting for the colonoscopy bc I started the MiraLax the entire day before my scope.

[@carmenhorvath8748]

I have a few doubts about this video. My doctors said absolutely no milk, no ice cream, no yogurt, absolutely no fruits with skin on (such as peaches !) yet this video says it's ok ... I'd rather go with my doctor's instructions about that, but other than that, not bad this video.

[@dorothysoderiou1442]

My doctor said milk yoghurt without sugar or fruit, sour cream, vanilla ice cream, are all OK for white diet. How can you have corn flakes , rice bubbles without milk. I've had colonoscopy at different clinics and doctors all gave me same advice. I don't know why your doctor advised you differently?

[@LindaFields-t7h]

This video is helpful, but I take oxycodone and oxycotin for advance, plus numerous other meds, what do I do about all those meds

[@dwadeisthegoat2020]

What can I eat a week before my procedure (mine is next Monday)

[@josebrivera1716]

Recommended foods are horrible for those of us who are on a keto diet. I am on keto to control my blood sugar as I was pre-diabetic.

[@lori9410]

I know! I eat a mostly vegetarian diet and I'm like OK so I can't eat anything 🤷‍♀️ 😩 lol

Thank you very much

[@J_L45]

Hmmm - what if you're vegan. I guess I will just drink water only.

[@seisies-mama]

Does peanut butter count as nuts?

[@Carolanne1926]

Yes no peanut butter at all

Thanks

Can u tell me or show me how to mix the bowel prep please

[@medcompanion7667]

Hi Shirley, sorry for the tardy response. We have videos for preps. Which prep are you interested in? I assume we are a bit late as your message was one month ago. Matt

[@errolwirasinghe]

USELESS - USELESS - Waste of time...

[@medcompanion7667]

Fair enough Dr Wiransinghe. It was produced in conjunction with gastroenterologists for their patients. Having said that we are in the process of updating it. We are going to provide more specificity and one of the gastros is going to narrate it. If you have any suggestions that would be great. It might help us produce something that is more useful to you and hopefully other people.

[@willmann30]

@@medcompanion7667 I disagree. The presentation was very helpful and extremely informative. Thank you for your content.

[@kriswittak6890]

Nothing is more useless then someone just typing useless without any insight on why it’s useless in your opinion

[@danielpitt7347]

Very useful ! Useful information, simple instructions
