The point of the prep is to clean you out so the gastroenterologist can see the tissue.Can the doc give you a good cleaning out while in there or will the drinking of the gallon of cleanout solution do that? I understand you get little pockets of infection with Divert. That's why eating sesame seeds is a no no.
I imagine Divert complicates a colonoscopy.
No better time than ever than to PIITB on Saturday.Yep. Yours truly is getting the old El Probo on Friday...
I hope I’ll come home and sleep until Saturday afternoon. Ugh.
I have diverticulosis so I’m glad I’m going to get checked out.
At least the Doc is going to take a crack at it...😏
I didn’t really mind the prep. It was nowhere near as bad as I feared it would be. In fact, I’m thinking about doing the prep procedure once a year just to keep me cleaned out.The point of the prep is to clean you out so the gastroenterologist can see the tissue.
You can. It's called diverticulitis (diverticulosis is the term for the pockets).
Seeds are fine, that's largely a myth. We do recommend a high fiber diet.
Not really.

Is that a good or bad idea? Does it upset the balance of bacteria in the colon?
That is the way to do it. Knock both out at same time.Have one scheduled in October along with an endoscopy at the same time!
A colonoscopy is more than a finger but honestly I prefer the extra discomfort to the intimacyEveryone loves dropping a duece, but get freaked out over a finger..
I call it, a date with Bubba in prison.Yep. Yours truly is getting the old El Probo on Friday...

Start a pool with your friends and family on how long you can go without pooping once you start prep.
Colonoscopy's can be fun for everyone.
Cologuard only for this guy.I am 46. Haven't done that or prostate exam. Putting both off.
It's only about 90% accurate in detecting cancersCologuard only for this guy.
It’s covered under my insurance every three years.It's only about 90% accurate in detecting cancers
It was originally intended/designed to be used annually or 3 yrs, but due to costs it's set up for only 10 yrs per what insurers will reimburse.
10% is going to be a lot of missed cancers; and it's even worse at detecting polyps, which will become cancerous over time.
If they're doing 3 yrs that's betterIt’s covered under my insurance every three years.
My doc recommends it as a viable option for low risk patients.
The day of the procedure, I was laying on my side getting ready for insertion and the amnesiac was just starting to kick in…
Did you figure out what she is allergic to? What IS the primary ingredient in MiraLAX?The wife (no pic) was schedule for one a few weeks ago. Turns out she’s severely allergic to the primary ingredient in MiraLAX, which is also the ingredient in the prep. She drank about a cup of the awful drink and almost instantly went into a severe allergic reaction. Turned beet red. Looked like she fell asleep while tanning and burnt to a crisp. Then came the insane itching. When she started having tightness in her chest and difficulty breathing, we raced to the ER. A shot of Benadryl and a shot of steroid and she was fine.
She’s trying a different prep tomorrow night. Friday, she gets scoped.
WTF? You could eat? I was a sack of potatoes in the passenger seat on the way home, and couldn’t eat for hours.There was a Casey's two blocks from the hospital. I had two slices of breakfast pizza on the way home. They were divine!
You will be fine, just keep away from HROT until you sober up.Yep. Yours truly is getting the old El Probo on Friday...

Surprised you remember that.
FWIW, I asked my doctor about that. He said there are lots of false positives and negatives and folks end up with the colonoscopy anyway. He also said polyps that aren't cancerous can still be a problem.Cologuard only for this guy.
Best medical break thru in years.
My guy discussed the same thing but said if you get a positive then get a colonoscopy - hope it was a false positive. Non-cancerous polyps can show other signs in stool color, bleeding, long term constipation/diarrhea, cramps, anemia, etc. Keep in mind a colonoscopy can miss things also.FWIW, I asked my doctor about that. He said there are lots of false positives and negatives and folks end up with the colonoscopy anyway. He also said polyps that aren't cancerous can still be a problem.

And, as I'd already pointed out to him, Cologuard misses nearly half of those pre-cancerous polyps.FWIW, I asked my doctor about that. He said there are lots of false positives and negatives and folks end up with the colonoscopy anyway. He also said polyps that aren't cancerous can still be a problem.
