1. Pick a really good comedy to watch. Have like 6-8 hours of programming.
2. Don’t mix the laxatives with anything, just chug it then bite into a wedge of lemon. Lime would probably also be good. Maybe you can do a miralax body shot and also do salt.
3. Use wet wipes to maintain the integrity of your butt hole. You’ll need a plastic bag for used ones, don’t flush them!
4. Heated blankets and heating pads for abdominal aching.
5. Put a towel down on your bed. The only time ever shit myself in my sleep was during a bowel prep. But that only happened 1 of 3 times. So I’d say, 30% chance of shitting yourself.
6. A noon time appointment is better than an early appointment because you can start the bowel prep later in the day and only have to fast 1/2 of a day. Because fasting sucks and fucks up your body and metabolism.
7. Take a day or two off work. You don’t need to work in this condition. Tell your boss you have a 30% chance of shitting yourself.
8. In my personal opinion, not a doctor, not medical advice, if you are peeing clear liquid out of your ass, your bowel is adequately clean and you can stop chugging laxatives. Also reconsider if you need to keep going if you start vomiting.
Do you have any HOT TIPS for making the bowel prep for a colonoscopy less terrible?
