Re: Upcoming Colonoscopy - MoviPrep? Tips? Anxiety Managemen

My standing piece of advice on the flavor, if you have that option, is to choose your least favorite flavor, since you probably won't like whatever flavor you choose, after it's all done. Why ruin a good thing? Good luck. My biggest problem with prepping is the starvation part. I keep wanting to gr...

I stocked up on Gatorade (lemon lime), Jello (lemon lime), and Crystal Light so I think I will never ever want a lemon or a lime again after this. I start my prep tomorrow afternoon, but have been eating lig...

Upcoming Colonoscopy - MoviPrep? Tips? Anxiety Management?

Hi all - I Googled "MoviPrep tips" and it brought me to this site, so I hope it is alright to post here. My brief backstory - Saw PCP in late February for some minor rectal bleeding, she sent me to ER for bloodwork and CT scan which came back clean. ER doc recommended seeing a GI specialis...
