I've had two colonoscopies and the whole procedure was much better than I thought it'd be! I was DREADING it like I can't tell you, but don't put it off, it's really not bad and could save your life. I do understand, however, everyone has a different reaction.
I had a routine colonoscopy 3 years ago. The prep and test were not bad. What was bad afterwards was the severe damage that was done to my digestive system. I was sick for weeks with severe constipation and couldn't go for over a month. I never had digestive problems before the colonoscopy and have constant problems now. I am often sick with this. What do the doctors say, tough shit. No one warmed me about this. Had I known I would never have had the test. I was low risk and did not even need it. I will suffer the rest of my life because of this horrible test. A friend of mine had a test for kidney or bladder stones. After it she ended up incontinent and has to wear Depends. She is madder than hell and very bitter. Sometimes the risk of the test is not worth it. I think I would rather have had cancer than the damage the test did to me. As God is my witness Iwill never have another invasive test as long as I live.
@@annetegernaey8191 oh wow that's crazy i kind of feel the same way it's already been 3 weeks since my procedure and my indigestion amd stomach pain is there feels different I might have to go to hospital to chck if any perforations happened to ne cause my stonach is always bloated after procedure im concerned
@@fielalabahia1629 Sorry to hear this about you and Annete. The doctors don't tell us everything so I did a lot of research and watched videos on youtube. I am now preparing for my colonoscopy. I am 71 and this will be the third one. Probiotics are very important. I take them every day and have increased the amount daily in prep. for the procedure. It's important too to take many daily probiotics right after the procedure and to continue for awhile and then take them on a daily basis. We lose the good bacteria from the prep we have to drink, and from the procedure itself. Here is an article that I found helpful. www.healfastproducts.com/single-post/2018/04/01/Colonoscopy-Prepare-with-Probiotics You don't have to buy Their product. Choose your own Probiotic. Gradually improve on you diet with high fiber foods and be sure to drink 8 glasses of purified water daily. In addition you may have food allergies and can be tested for that, or something unrelated to the colonoscopy may be occurring. It would be helpful to have a follow-up with your MD. I hope my info. is helpful, and I wish you both improved health.

The preps are BEYOND awful! All of these videos lie!! I was vomiting and sick taking the awful preps. Then I felt like I kept having to go the entire way to the hospital. I have IBS and reflux, this test makes it beyond worse!!!!
This prep is the older ones. The new prep such as the Suprep is a two part prep and the you mix it right before you drink alone with water follow up.

Very well done. Thank you.
Thanks
Using a straw to drink the prep mix makes absolutely no difference. If just makes drinking the liquid take a lot long period of time.
Every other video I have seen on this still says that coffee is OK. So I don’t think this one is totally accurate.
how about oil and salt
What if your appointment is at like 7am

You're right. This is an outright lie. The prep is sheer hell, but they don't want anyone to know the truth.
@@jessman8597 they had me do miralax only prep which was better and tolerable.
@@cupcakepaper6523 my doctor is making me do the miralax. I'm terrified beyond description. Not sure I can go through with this.
@@jessman8597 miralax is the best one…no big deal. Others are awful
I have a 4 year old I don't get privacy.
Sokuu rig
I am glad i dont have to worry about this BS,,I will NEVER EVER get it done..nothin but a money grab
