I am having my first colonoscopy done tomorrow, I followed the prep instructions to a T and I am now going on hour 6 of liquid diahrrea. Is this normal? It's very painful and my poor bottom hurts so bad :(

Yep, unfortunately preps are not gut friendly. So having multiple episodes of D is to be expected. Just a tip, next time you have to have a scope, instead of using toilet paper, use either baby wipes or Tucks pads. The witch hazel or aloe in them can help keep the tush from getting sore.

Good luck with your scope!

Hi and Welcome to HealingWell, You do fine with the test.
Make sure you have somebody to drive you home afterwards. I have had my share of colonoscopy test done.
