I wish the scan is enough . The prep for colonoscopy is so gross . So hard to drink that stuff, still gotta drink the 2nd one at 2am. I’m already emptied out . Why must I do the 2nd one . Please guys pray for clean scan again for me . Thank you
Hopegirl I hope your scan was clear. I just did my first year scope last Friday and was told next one in 3 years. I think that is too long a wait so will be questioning it with my doctor.
I did 3 Dulcolax tablets followed by 1 litre of prep 5 hours later and the 2nd litre of prep 12 hours later. Add to that a nervous gut that was sending everything out inliquid form for the previous day and you would think that everything would be clean in there but there were still little drops of fecal matter to be seen inside. The second dose of prep is important.

As I said I hope yours was clear. Let us know, we are thinking about you.
