Some dumb ?? but I am sure somebody has had more recent than 3+ yrs. plus this is just my 2nd. even so

is Pedialyte Unflavored good to go?? I am thinking of getting like 4 Unflav Pedialytes and some Unsweetenend Tea.
I freakin' hate Gatorade now (I drank for 5yrs nonstop in college with strombolis and Pepperoni Rolls..u kno for the hangovas lol) gatorade is all the drs paper says. (its miralax/ducolax icyw)

also, are liquid protein drinks good to go too?? (like cytosport pure protein in lemon for example)


pedialytle pops in the apple?? strawberry?? (I know no red or grape)

thanks pros!

My retired GI had me use 2 Fleet enemas before my scopes. I don't need to drink a thing. If my new GI tells me to drink anything, then I'm just going to use two Fleet enemas and not tell him a thing.

No, no enema. My GI is the one doing the sticking up the butt. I have no idea what that or those are :)
I was told to take Lialda as far as treatment goes. Thanks for response

Two enemas will get everything out. The Fleet enemas completely cleanse out any poo from the colon. I know. I'm not sedated during the colonoscopies.

What's the prep you're using? when is the scope?

My favourite...lol, groan...is the gallon prep. NO flavouring added or in the prep itself.

I did the fleet prep (not the enemas)....can't starve myself or do liquid stuff for the day before. I don't consume that stuff normally, and I was so nauseated.
With the gallon prep, one can have a light breakfast /lunch the day of the purge. That's golden to me.

I've never had any problems..

maybe you can change to the gallon prep? Have you tried that yet?

It's still known as to be the most effective...

I would stick with things that are clear (not cloudy, red or blue).....it doesn't really matter what they are. I've never tried that prep but I have used Miralax in the past. Miralax is tasteless so it doesn't matter what it's put in.

Good luck with the scope and even better luck with the prep!

The last time I had a scope done, they made me drink 2 Litres of this clear liquid. I had to keep passing it through my colon until it was clear in colour and not tainted with anything. I'd much rather have the enema than that again :(

It also took two hours to drink that whole thing. If I didn't drink it all in the two hours, then I'd have to start all over again.

I like he miralax/ducolax of all the preps I've done (25 colonoscopies).... I drink it in clear juice. (My doc allows cranberry juice as long as it has no artificial coloring.) I also have Italian Ice. Prep day is also the one day of the year I drink soda - with sugar - because that keeps my energy up some and prevents the fasting headache.

I usually do the miralax ducolax prep with lots of Gatorade. Now that I'm in the the hospital, I'm on clear liquid diet. It's saturday and I started the clears for lunch. Cscope isn't until Monday! I'm thinking it'll be enema only? I'd rather do that. I haven't gotten any other Instructions yet regarding prep here.

Btw, how do you have a scope without sedation? Knock me out baby! I look forward to that,and then my reward food afterwards. I'm so hungry right now! shocked

Yea, they are going have to knock me out well w/ the versed and the other mess they give you. I do take an anti-anxiety pill occasionally for my nerves and a hypnotic at night to help me not toss-n-turn so much. so i won't go down easy..

looking like a wal-mart trip on tap shortly.found $1/1 ducolax coupon in todays sunday paper. i didn't know there were like at least 3 kinds!?! good grief. my dr's papers just said don't get the "stool softener" one...i got that much understood
