Thank you this is the best video I have seen as I prepare tomorrow
I am doing my prep right now. I was told to mix my prep w 2 32oz bottles of gatorade. I am using one lemon lime and one 33oz bottle of grapefruit sparkling water at room temperature. This is my 5th or 6th colonoscopy, and this flavor combo is PERFECT. I am so relieved.
PUN INTENDED. 😅
Do you get adominal pain?
Prescription prep? Just get a 238 gram bottle of Miralex and mix it with clear Gatorade, and a couple of Dulcolax pills. I actually ate eggs and white bread the day before my procedure and my physician rated my prep a 10 out of scale of 10. Look at what recent studies are saying. People who eat a small amount of macaroni and cheese the day before do perfectly fine in conjunction with the prep drink.
I am 74 and weigh 102 pounds. This prep is stressing me out . I have a 6:30 AM appointment.
Well how'd it go 🎉
Thank You 😊 Nice CLEAR directions.
1-12-23 yesturday iv had a colonoscopy and Gastronoscopy every thing went good ,bowl prep was ecxellent in Drs report ...Glad its over..went home same day..
Was everything good?
Eddie Murphy went though the same process and they found a GI Joe in his G.I. track. Went in as Corba came out as Duke the Doc said.
Thank you for this video.
so helpful thank u
great information......thanks.....
Thank you for the
Information .
Thank you 🎉 amazing explanation
Thank you..
Thank you for this information. My colonoscopy is tomorrow.
Excellent video that lists what to eat / drink before a procedure. Best video on here!
This was very helpful
I found the lego block I ate as a child.
😂😂😂
My GI doc had to biopsy all the years of swallowed gum.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG that's so funny!! 😂😂
Afterward I felt guilty about eating normal and dirtying it up again.
How much crystal light can you put in it?
The last time i drank that stuff i got sick as a dog. Its just entirely too much liquid.
I was given the Golytely.. but told to drink it ALL the evening before.
That’s what my directions say !
👍👍
They said my procedure will take approx 30 min. No one said 3 hours lol
Same , it's not 3 hrs 😅
Hold on do we do the low firber diet 2 days before the colonoscopy or 5 days before it ?
The instructions on my paper say 5
What about orange jello?
They gave me Peglyte = polyethylene glycol and electrolytes. PEG is human grade anti-freeze! And it is gross to drink. Not to mention that you have to drink 2 litres in 1 hour then another 2 litres 5 hours before the procedure. It is the same thing as Golytely just a different brand.
Bowel movement is an overstatement. Anal squirting is a more apt description.
My doctor said I can take MiraLAX instead of Golytely junk
I was told by a physician that red and purple liquids are ok. She said to me "A doctor should know the difference between a colored liquid and blood".
Rather not take that chance tho lol
I no drink a Gatorade
Is ok mixed Miralax to water
Gatorade has electrolytes, but water doesn't. If you were just taking water, I think you would need to figure out a different way to get electrolytes. For example, I make my own with salt, potassium etc for my own daily hydration needs, so maybe there are alternatives to gatorade. Coconut water and broths have some electrolytes in them, for example.
I don't know what is required for colonoscopy prep though, so you should ask your doctor about this. You will be losing a lot of electrolytes and not having the right amount and ratio of electrolytes during this process could potentially make you feel ill and give you dehydration complications I imagine. (saying this as someone that just deals with dehydration issues, not medical advice)
The instructions on the same bottle, say keep drinking the entire contents until its completey finished. Not, start drinking the other halve 5 hours prior. Which is it?
Some of the facilities have gone to this split routine because mucous secretions continue to be made after you stop drinking the swill and MAY occlude the visuals of your intestinal lining. If you split the dose less time for this buildup. Unfortunately this can mean getting up on the middle of the night to start the second portion if your appointment is early in the morning since you have to gag it down AND finish up a few hours hours before then. At least you’ll nap through the procedure!
Thanks Sue, it wasn’t that bad, not in a hurry to do it again though haha! The nap was nice. Haha
Well, my problem with it is just the sheer volume of what you have to drink. It could be something I like ordinarily like lemonade for example, but that amount of anything to drink is just difficult. In order to make things easier I eating a lot less food in the days leading up to the procedure. (Less input, less output!). Once I’ve reached the half way point things are pretty cleared out. My 6th colonoscopy is coming up later this week, lucky me!
@@suebell5870 6? That is a lot of naps! Hope all goes well for you. I agree, way to much to drink at one time. The taste was not that bad, just the amount was tough. Good luck to you Sue.
@@therustyduck5400 Thanks. Family history of colon cancer (grandmother) and polyps found on every scope. Got the jug today, cheers!
My wife took this years ago. She could only drink half. Stuff is awful. Now they use Sutab tablets with water. 1000 times better.
My Dr won't let me do it that way, I have to drink all the 🤢 gross stuff , idk why 🤬
I couldn't take this. It made me vomit. I had to reschedule my first colonoscopy and got a different script of clenpiq. Clenpiq is so much easier to drink.
Try miralax prep this golighty is horrible
Hi my name is Thea and I'm 26: I have question? Can I have sushi and cook oysters in resturant called Ikeda in London?
I'm a vegetarian, fruits and vegetables are all i eat. I can't go a whole day without eating.
What about rice
@@Samiscool114 You can eat rice?
Yes. Actually you CAN go without eating for several hours.
I think it's more about the fiber in them...as that takes longer to break down -- you may be able to eat "low fiber" fruits and veg (no skins, seeds, red colour) if those exist?
Stop with all this nonsense eating all that garbage. Just go on a fast the day before, it wont kill you and is very beneficial in itself.
It’s not nonsense to maintain your electrolytes. It can help to prevent weakness and fainting which is especially important for elderly and medically fragile patients.
I'm seriously screwed because I don't consume any of that crap, but I can't go a whole day without eating, I get nauseous, lightheaded, and dizzy. I don't think I can do this procedure.
@@pugernoufer you can eat that “crap” for a day. It won’t kill you. Colorectal cancer, on the other hand, can kill you if not detected early enough via colonoscopy.
@@RachelJane101 "electrolytes": a pinch of sea salt in your water with a bit of lemon juice
@@redrustyhill2 That’s inadequate for elderly/medically fragile.
The worse prep ever. There are better ones
A colonoscopy is such a pain in the ass.
😏
Not when the camera grazes your g spot 🥵
It sounds terrible. I have my first one next week. I’m watching videos and reading things. The papers my dr sent with the drink says I have to drink 8 oz every 10 min until entire jug is done. There are certain things if said stay away from eating for 2 days. Some videos I’m watching says stop eating certain things for 5 days before. I’m wondering if it all depends on how well you digest things. I’m going to start 5 days before by not eating fruits and veggies , beans , nuts etc and just eat very bland things like chicken and rice , broths , jello. Sucks
@@ccalexander1924the procedure itself is nothing,it’s just the prep, that drink is the hardest part, be prepared because that drink is absolutely vile, you just gotta plug your nose and down the hatch. Like I said the actual procedure is nothing,
