Thank you so much for your video. I have my very first colonoscopy tomorrow, I'm 55. Today is my prep day and have been a little anxious. You helped me relax some and feel that it will all be ok. Thank your for sharing.
Thank you, everything went to well. You helped me get through the prep process. Completed sutab 9/8/2022 colonoscopy on Friday 9/9/2022. I was clean as a whistle! Best to you always…
Hello Khymie! I’m so glad you made it love! I’m so happy that this video is been helping some of us here. It was my third colonoscopy and I was the same before looking for videos how was it done. So that’s why I made this and thankfully it’s helping even for a little bit. Thank you for watching and let’s continue to be healthy ❤️❤️❤️
I never see anybody warn other people about the aftermath of this dual procedure and I'm talking about right afterwards in the recovery room. I'll just say this in order for them to get good pictures they pump you up with air. Well that air has to go somewhere and I don't know about anyone else but I wasn't warned about it and I was not the only one in the recovery room. Embarrassing to say the least. I couldn't stop passing gas and all my husband could say was "that's my girl" Funny story in hindsight horrifying at the time.
Hahaha! It happens to everybody. Funny thing is my husband took a video of me the very first time I had colonoscopy and you can hear from that video. The good thing is we ate so clean so doesn’t really smell anything at all 🥰 thanks for sharing and watching ☺️
Thank you soooo much for this video! I have to schedule colonoscopy and endoscopy in the next few weeks, and I really wanted to know how the Sutab prep was. I'm 66 and this will be my first time getting both procedures, so I'm really anxious. I feel much better after watching this. I think one of the biggest take aways from your video is how you kept yourself calm and relaxed. And knowing what you had to eat/drink is a big help so I can have everything on hand to have choices in case one thing isn't good I can just try something else. Also, thanks for the extra info on your endoscopy results. Good to know about the yogurt even if I am prescribed antibiotics. Wish you all the best, and thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so happy that this video was really helping some people. I was once like you I was looking for people that had it done and only few I found. Good luck on your procedure and let me know if you have any questions. 🥰
Thanks for this video it helped me a lot. I just had my first colonoscopy and 2nd endoscopy today. Even-though I used wipes I still was raw back there. Also the 2nd set of tabs made me sick, so definitely may need a trash bag by your bed. I was going up til they put the IV in for procedure but the nurse said that was normal. Also I had to eat light after the procedure and then she said that night I can go for the gusto. I’m so glad it’s over and done with. Good luck to everyone else who has to go through this process🤎
Hello Alysha! I’m so glad you made it sweetie! Thanks for stopping by here and helping one another through sharing our experiences. I’m glad you got it done! 🥰
I’ve heard if you take a bit longer to take the tablets - like wait a few sips before taking another - can help reduce the chance of stomach issues. I did mine really quickly - under 10 minutes - so I’m gonna take my time taking the tablets tomorrow morning for the 2nd dose.
As to the rawness, ease it with liberal amounts of warm water applied with a fresh washing-up sponge. (Don't use the sponge later to do the washing-up!)
Just had my colonoscopy and endoscopy earlier this morning. I handled the SUTAB with no problem. It started working 30 minutes after I started the first pill. I only had one polyp but it was a big one. The doctor was able to remove it then put a small clip in until it healed.
@@jessman8597 I thought the same as you but after the procedure I felt silly because there's really nothing to it at all. The worst part is the prep the day before but the colonoscopy and endoscopy are painless.
Hi. Great Video. I am 68, I live in Australia and this week just had my 3rd Colonoscopy. Many years ago I also had an endoscopy. In Australia they get you to take 3 Satches of Picosalax which you take 2 hours apart. Different product but the end result is the same. My first colonoscopy found I had Polyps which they removed during the procedure, then tests 5 years apart. I got my all-clear results for this test on the same day and feel really good about getting it done, as its one less thing to think about. I know I am good for the next 5 years! If its suggested to you, or see differences in your body, get the test done. It doesn't hurt, you dont know whats taking place and Its well worth it.
Hello Mr Patrick! Thank you so much for sharing you experience. I’m sure there’s many of us here wanted to know how it goes and one thing that I can really advice is that if you’re feeling something different always get it check. I’m so glad that everything is good with you right now sir and thank you for watching. 🥰
I was actually really p*ssed off, because they found a polyp in the transverse colon, but didn't remove it because they said I hadn't stopped taking my blood thinner (Edoxaban) soon enough. This was totally contrary to the pre-procedure advice I was given, both verbally and in writing, to stop it one day before. Instead, the endoscopist placed a marker tattoo on the polyp and I'll probably have to go in again in one or two weeks' time, depending on the results of the biopsies.
Thank you for this video. To be honest I was having extreme anxiety as to what to expect w/this prep, especially because I have IBS & get very sick & painful cramping from it. So far I've finished the 1st bottle of pills & no pain & I was basically worrying for nothing. This prep is a piece of cake. My dr did recommend taking 2 Gas-X Extreme b4 beginning the 1st bottle & taking an additional 3 more Gas-X Extreme when beginning the 2nd bottle & I feel that definitely helped too.. Watching your video truly helped calm my nerves so THANK YOU!! ❤️
Hello Kristen! I’m happy that it’s helping you right now. I know how you feel I’ve been there. Yes, just keep on drinking fluids we don’t want to get dehydrated when doing this fasting. Especially when your having lots of bowel movement. Good luck on your procedure tomorrow and just try to relax, listen to music or watch your favorite movie or show. It will go quick promise. Take cate 🥰🥰🥰
I started Sutab yesterday at 4:30 pm. Cut the water about 50% with diet 7 up which made it much easier to swallow the pills quickly. First bowel movement 50 minutes after last tab. Went about 7 times over around 4 hours. Used a shower hose on the bottom after each movement and then put some rolled up toilet paper in my rear to keep underpants from possibly soiling. Had no issues. Sleep well - and only got up middle of the night to pee. Started second dose at 6:30 am. Pills went down easily with my diet 7 up mix. Had first movement about 50 minutes later. Procedure is at 3 pm today. Taking Uber to the surgery center - wife picking me up at 4:30 pm. Prefer afternoon procedures since I did not want to having movements that would disrupt sleep. Chicken broth yesterday kept hunger pangs away. Looking forward to a small pizza for dinner tonight - although I am not hungry now.
OMG thanks so much for this video! First time with Sutab (not my first colonoscopy). I was searching Google and got so scared as I have a weak stomach and get nauseous easily. I'm doing this next week and after watching your video will probably not be so nervous.
Hi Kathy! I was feeling the same thing too before taking the sutab. But just take them slowly and working 20 minutes with the right amount of water. Usually we get too nervous because we don’t know what’s going to happened and that’s why I think making this video will make a little easier for us. Just try to relax and good luck on your procedure love. Update is okay. Take care ❤️
I'm scheduled to have a colonoscopy in 5 days and I'm using the sutabs thank you so much for sharing your prep experience it helped me a lot I've been so anxious so thanks
Hi love! You are very welcome! Im so glad that this video is been helping a lot. Just try to relax the day of the liquid diet, make sure you have everything you need. Good luck on your procedure ❤️
@@bettyausten9533 hi Betty! Don’t be! It’s an easy procedure and as long as you prep really good the day before. I was not awake when they did it, there are some people that are awake and they are totally fine with it. But you can always tell your dr to be sedated if are not comfortable to be awake. 🥰 good luck on your procedure love!
Hi. No I wasn’t awake sedated. I didn’t feel a thing. I said hi to the the doctor and anesthesiologist and next thing you know I wake up and said it’s done? It was so quick easy and a great experience for me. I was worrying a lot few days before my endoscopy and colonoscopy it was really a wonderful procedure. I feel even better knowing what the doctor are able to find and treat at the same time. Best of luck and let us know how it goes.
Thank you for sharing this personal medical story! I go in for my 3rd colonoscopy (age 65) tomorrow afternoon. However, this is the first time with the SUTAB. Blessings!
Iam 66 now i had my colonoscopy at age 38 they found polylps but no cancer i had another one in 2013 still nothing now iam going to get another one in a few weeks. Hate doing it but i will go. Those pills you are taking are so large. Glad you are doing good.
Hello! I’m Glad that every procedures are good. I’m the same way, just need to continue getting it check. Praying that it will always stay normal. Thank you for watching and good luck on your procedure, we’re already both pro on it 😊.
Had mine today .. the "worst" part is the prep .. the procedure itself was completely painless and was actually really good sleep 🤣. If you are on the fence .. I encourage you to get it done. It's not bad .. just lots of bathroom visits and liquid drinking!
I am addicted to flying drones. During my "sleep" I dreamt about soaring around the sky looking out of one of my drones at the stunning scenery". It couldn't have been a nicer experience!
I had colonoscopy twice before but this would be the first time with Sutab, so lets see what happens tomorrow, Thanks for the great information! be safe
Hi! Thank you! I hope it works well with you! I think I did exactly what I was supposed to do. I took the tablets in within 20 minutes with the liquid. And after that just keep drinking liquid. Apple juice helps a lot with ice. 🥰 good luck!
Thank you for posting this. I am having my 3rd colonoscopy next month. Just picked up Sutab and this will be first time using this prep. They told me 1 tablet every 2 min (set a timer) when taking otherwise will 🤮. I am feeling a bit anxious, but your video helped me ease up a bit. 👍
Hello Lisa! Yes, as long as you take the tablets in writhin 20 minutes time. That’s what I did and of course you can take as much as water you want or any allowed juice. Good luck on your procedure love, pls update us okay. Thank you for sharing and you can do this 🥰
I used the pills for colonoscopy about a week ago. The process went pretty smooth for me. Set the timer and took 1 pill every 2 min. Had a few tiny polyps (benign) and will be doing this again in 3-5 years.
So glad I came across your video. I'm not going to Google anything else about the prep and go on this. I'm not worried about the procedure just a mess about the prep. This will be my first for the colonoscopy and endoscopy. Thank you for the good vibes and pleasant words to help me through this process. Bless you ❤
Oh thank you so much! I’m so glad this video is able to help some of us that are little worried about the prep and procedure. It was my 3rd one that’s why I decided to make a video of it. Well, I hope hoes well love and will be praying for you! Thanks for watching! 🥰
Hi Danielle! You are welcome and thank you for watching! Just take your time tomorrow and try to relax as much as you can! Just make sure you always have some cold drinks with you, apple juice helped me a lot. Good luck with your procedure love! 🥰
Thank you so much for this! I start my prep today for my colonoscopy tomorrow and this is exactly what I needed to know. Wasn’t sure about how to go about the process but this kind of helps my anxiety over it. I had done Cologuard at home test that came back positive so now I have to do a more invasive test. I got nervous when reading the box that it said it takes 2 days for prep but my doctor’s office instructions said for day before prepping. The office instructions are just as you did it so I will be good✅ Take care and thanks again!
Hello! I’m so glad that my video helped. And I hope your procedure tomorrow goes well and see what’s really going on. Thank you for watching the video and hope you can give us an update! 🙏
The secret to prepping is to start eating a very light, bland diet four or five days before the procedure. Scrambled eggs, white fish cooked in the microwave, white toast etc. Then the prep doesn't have so much cr*p to get rid of. Then, after the colonoscopy, you can soon build up your protein and carb intake again.
I need to go for a colonoscopy next tuesday. Im only 42yrs old. Im terrified of going through the prep and the whole scope procedure and removal of polyps if any. Been crying as im so scared. Watching your video gives me abit of confidence that i will be ok. I hope and pray i will be ok. Thank you for sharing your experience
Hello Marlini! You are very welcome and what im saying to our other friends here, jusy try to relax on the day before the procedure thats hardest part but think jt will be just for that day and the procedure itself will be quick and easy. Will be praying for a peaceful and successful one. Thank you so much for watching ❤️
@@DianaRodriguez-mr3vb mine is on the 22nd nov next tues. Im still nervous about it. But after watching a few other videos of other people’s experiences i feel abit more confident. Will update u when im done with it ✌🏼
I go in for both of these on Dec 28th because I am having stomach issues I’m 34 iv been having stomach issues for years and finally I got a Dr who listened to me
It’s really important to kinda push yourself to find a doctor that will listen and finally will do these steps. I had so many dr just gave me some medicines that only make you feel better for awhile. I’m happy for you that you’re finally getting it done love! Good luck 🙏
I had a combined gastroscopy and colonoscopy last Friday and the gastroscopy was way worse than the colonoscopy, in terms of discomfort. And I had stomach discomfort for three days afterwards. Admittedly, the colonoscopy was no fun either, but better tolerated, except when the 'scope has to bend around to navigate the transverse colon. This is three times now that I've had both procedures, though the two gastroscopies earlier were 30 years ago when I could probably tolerate the procedure much easier.
Hi dear! Thank you for sharing your experience🙏🏻 My doc prescribed this to me today, so I was looking what is Sutab.. I had HPylory too and successfully treated it, but now I have to deal with damage it caused in my stomach. Doc told me today that my sister missed that time (she died from cancer in 44 y.o), so the bacteria caused cancer;((( So I have a good chance to be cured. We underestimate our health risks, especially now with such amount of chemicals in our food. So those videos like yours may help others, please continue 🙏🏻❤️
Hello! Thank you so much and I’m so grateful that this video is been helping some of us. Yes, we really have to listen to our body and don’t take for granted what we have. I just did another endoscopy last month and I also uploaded it last week and I was diagnosed with Barrettes esophagus. So I really have to change my diet. I’m trying my very best. lol! Anyways, good luck on your procedure and pls update us if anything. Thank you for watching and your message here. 🙏
Thank you for sharing your experience. I just finished my 2nd dose of Sutab around 4:30 am. I am set to have a colonoscopy this morning at 11:30. I just turned 60 and this is my 2nd colonoscopy. Not sure the Sutab is any easier than the movi prep which I had taken for my first colonoscopy 10 years ago. Somewhat anxious about going in as I have a new doctor this time. I hope they put me out for the procedure. Also have had stomach issues for the last 20 years and have been on omeprazole for 10 years. Doctor switched me to Pantoprazole which seems to work well for me and my acid reflux. Hopefully your stomach issues will resolve soon!
@@ramrock9441 Hi! I think I was like in the middle of taking the pills when I get little nauseous but sometime I know it’s all in our mind. So what I did was just tried to relax and told my self ttat I can do this and its just part of the procedure. And it worked 🥰
Hello! You are welcome! I was on the same boat as you the first time getting the procedure. I was looking for some video here in TH-cam. So I decided to make this video and hoping to give some ideas for others. Thank you so much for watching 🥰hope all goes well with yours 🙏
Thanks for sharing your experience! I just had colonoscopy & endoscopy on Monday. I used a Gatorade/Miralax/Dulcolax combination for my prep. It was fine. I could have never swallowed those horse pills!
I have to start my liquid diet tomorrow, and then at 4:00pm start with the 12 tablets. They told me to take two every 30 minutes until all 12 are gone. Then my colonscopy and endoscopy are scheduled for Monday @8:00am. They told me to take the second half of the 12 pills 4 hrs before my procedure the morning of. Wonder why they don't do it the same for everyone?
I know! Before my procedure I’ve been watching other’s people experiences too here in TH-cam and they have different procedure of how to take the tablets or liquids. I guess the best thing is just to follow whatever your dr told you to do. It’s my third colonoscopy and the way my dr wants me to do it always work so far. This time I took the sutab and I like it better than the liquids I had before. Good luck with your procedure it will go fast. Just take it easy tomorrow and know that liquids diet is also good for us 🥰
My prep was a disaster! I used Clenpiq and I couldn’t keep the second bottle down. Vomiting all night with no sleep. Next day, I was queasy and shaking. The procedure was fine and clear. I would caution people about doing the full amount of laxative, especially if you’re a smaller person, as long as your running clear stools.
Oh no! That was scary experience I’m so sorry you have to go through that. But I’m glad the procedure went well sweetie. Thanks for sharing your experience 🥰
@@wendyrodriguez5375 My advice is to take it slow and don’t force things. Start with half a dose and only take more if you need it. The last thing I ate the day before was an orange to let me know as a marker when I was almost done with the flush. The good news is that all the nausea goes away when they put you to sleep, but I still had laxative in my system the next day.
Sutab is the way to go. I was first given Plenvu, and it was terrible. I got maybe 1/3 of the first dose down. I called the on call doctor and luckily got a prescription for Sutab before the pharmacy closed. That was so easy by comparison. I don't know why I wasn't given the option from the start.
Oh hello Tim! Thank you for watching this video! I’m really glad that people actually appreciate it. I was the same thing when I first did my colonoscopy, I was looking for video from people that experience the procedure. So, I decided to make this video and hoping thay can help others too. I’m sure you will be fine, just follow what your dr’s instruction and it’s suppose to be a quick procedure. Good luck on your procedure and hopefully you can update us here. 🥰
Procedure was yesterday, and no polyps! A couple of patches of irritated diverticuliti. Adding yogurt and benefiber, that should help. Thank you so so much for this vid, I watched it again on Su day before the procedure and it helped a LOT considering I was using the Sutab prep as well. I hope this vid continues to help people unsure what to expect, it helped me incredibly! ❤
@@nycgatita Hello! I’m so glad that you’re procedure is done and it went well. Thank you so much for watching as well and thankful this video helped. 🥰
@@laniesider2586 Hiya! The pills went down with water, one, every two minutes. And I had no adverse reactions. Pooping in about 40-60 minutes and then again every 15-30 minutes. Highly recommend the pill prep! All normal results and my doctor recommended a colonoscopy every five years. No diverticulitis. Just slight irritation, Benefiber should take care of.
Thank you for sharing! I’m going to be taking SUTAB at noon today because I’m having my colonoscopy/endoscopy tomorrow. I’m not looking to this. I’ve had two colonoscopies in the past. The prep that I was given was so awful, that’s why I chose the tablets. I remember thinking why didn’t they make a pill? I’m a little nervous seeing how big they are, but it’s so much better than the drink!! Thanks for posting this. It is so helpful!
Hello! Im glad that this video can help. 🥰Sutab is so much better! Just take them slowly and take a deep breath and try to relax. Good luck on your procedure, you got this! It’s going to be a quick one! 🙏
Thank you! Thank you! You have helped ease my stress. I’m having both these procedures this coming Monday. I googled and and then I went onto TH-cam and found you🙌 I feel so much better. I am still a little nervous about the pills as I hate taking horse size pills but I will deal with it. Thank you so much for sharing your video.
@@janetmcnichol8803 Hi! You are so welcome! I’m so glad that this video is been helping some of us here. I really planned to take video of this one because I was once like you and looking for people that had the procedure done. Good luck on Monday and praying this everything will be okay. 🥰🙏
I had both tests done same time first endoscopy then immediately Clonoscopy but Clonoscopy was very painful very unpleasant i was telling get the thing out but nurse was holding me tight anyway results was ok they took upper and lower biopsies nothing found but my stomach still gastric and always discomfort
Hi! We’re you awake? I know sometimes they don’t use any sedation for some other risk or any high risk patients like for example for women is if you’re pregnant. But at least you got it done and thankful both are normal. Thank you for watching 🥰
Thanks for sharing your video. I will be doing the Sutab prep tomorrow and I’m more worried about swallowing this giant size pills in 20 mins 🤦🏻♀️ I’m definitely going to need more water and time . I wish they made the pills smaller 😩
Hello! Yes I know, those tables were gigantic ☺️ but once you just think that it’s better than the liquid that I use to drink you will be fine with it 😉 good luck on your procedure love! Update us okay. Thanks a lot!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video. It made me feel less anxious. I have had to cancel a colonoscopy in the past because I couldn't not keep the movi-prep down at all. I had also tried a different name that I forgot now, but I am excited to try SuTab...as much as I can be. 😇
Oh you’re so welcome! I’m so glad that this video is been helping to few of us here. It’s my third colonoscopy so I decided to record everything so it can help some people. I was looking for a video before here in TH-cam as well before my first one and I just could find much. Hopefully your procedure will go well my friend and always remember the prep day will go quick just think that it will be just for a day! God bless! Thanks for watching!
I just did my Edoscopy + Colonoscopy last week and also did the Sutab prep. I also got severe anxiety both times I took it. I don't think it was just you. Mine was definitely a reaction from the medication.
@@alwayswantedababy4563 Hi! Thanks for watching! I know, it might be it too, I had a friend also got so nervous while taking it. I hope everything went well love! 🥰
I keep on burping for almost 3 months and different medicines I took (e.g. Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, other kinds of -prazole) didn’t work. So my doctor might push me to undergo endoscopy very soon, maybe this week or the following week to see the problem. Thank you for sharing this because I’m a bit nervous about the procedure. I’m just 27 yrs old. Hopefully the result of my endoscopy will not be that serious and can be treated easily.
Hello Alfie! It’s really good that you’re getting it check and it’s better to know how to fix it. Just always think positive, good luck on your procedure and please let us know how it goes okay. Take cate and thanks for watching and sharing with us.
Sutab is total crap! I started it at 1:30pm and it didn't clean me out, so I was unable to have my colonoscopy, which sucked cause I was on a liquid diet for 2 days.
I got done at 530 taking my first set of pills and it’s 720 and I still haven’t gone potty 😮What is going on ? So strange I’m drinking water like it says and Gatorade and nothing 😮 I’m starting to worry but my tummy is rumbling but yet no feeling of having to go number 2 uggg ☹️ I don’t know if I should take the second dose or not since I haven’t even started going potty with the first dose ?
Just hang in there sweetie! Keep drinking liquid and try to relax. And yes, continue taking the second dosage of your medication. Hopefully it’s coming soon and good luck on your prcodefurre tomorrow!
@@dabby6077 Omg Thank you so much for your getting back to me and for your comforting words and advice ❤️ You were right ! It’s working I took the second dose at 10 pm but spaced it out cause it was making me feel nauseous But by 12 am I finally had the urge to go ! Thank God 🙏 I was freaking out on why it was taking so long ? lol So now I am just drinking more water and waiting for this to end lol You are a doll for getting back to me and helping me to just relax !

@@Tricia2023 Awe! That’s good that I was able to help even for a little bit love! Im so happy! Let’s keep in touch here! Always take care okay! Stay healthy 🥰
I started my liquid diet and I took my 1st set of tablets and within an hour I was vomiting everything up. I’m not sure how my procedure tomorrow will go now. I have to take the next set at 3am and I’m so scared now😭
Thank you very much for your tutorials I’m not as nervous as I was before. I’m also doing the Su tabs and you explained everything so well I don’t even have to read the book which I hate reading instructions! This will be #4 colonoscopy coming up on July 5th so, I won’t be at any cookout😂
Hello Zoe! Thank you for watching and I’m really happy that this video is able to help a lot of people especially for those who don’t have any experience yet. Good luck on your procedure, kinda hard coz it’s the day after the 4th of July ha. But you know what? Your health is more important to any occasion right 🥰 praying for a safe procedure
@@zoeventa7749good luck on your procedure tomorrow. I have my first colonoscopy on July 6. Nervous about it, never been sedated before. How are you feeling after taking the first set of pills?
Thanks for sharing this is very insightful. I've been having lower right side adominal pain (dull pain come and go etc.) for over 3 years now and now decided to have it checked out (should have done it soon). With your diagnosis, did you experience dull pain on either of the lower side of the adominal? Hope it's just an infection and not cancer.
Hello! Mostly the pain I got was from upper middle abdominal pain. Yes, it’s better to get it check right away, let’s just hope and pray it’s something that can be treated. Stay strong and good Luck on your procedure. Update us and take care!
@@baycchief3785 glad your doing ok, how often did they say you have to do a colonoscopy after diagnosis with diverticulitis? I was diagnosed with mild diverticulosis through a CT scan, started diarrhea along with a dull upper right abdomen pain. How was your experience with taking the pill? Any vomiting? Cramps? After taking the first 12 pills? What helped you get through it? I can’t really drink a lot of water, it has to be juice. How did you stay hydrated? Anything besides water I can drink? Thank you in advance.
@@laniesider2586 Actually it is "Diverticulosis" (not yet Diverticulitis which meant no infection or anything in that single pouche yet). I believe every 10 year should check out. My CT scan didn't find anything either from small intestines, heart, liver, kidneys, pacreas etc. so the mystery is still w/ the lower right adominal pain (just minor pain come and go). The pain can be controlled if eating healthy but so far all the doctors said they couldn't fine/locate the root cause of the dull aching pain). No obstruction internally. Good thing is that it's not cancer or tumor inside or anything in that nature and will just keep monitoring for the time being.
Thank you for making this! Tomorrow is my day for the pills.. I have the exact same pills. I was trying to figure out how late I could eat tonight because I have mine at 10 am the next day so I have to go at least 38 hours without food if I stop at 8 PM tonight. I did buy some chicken broth for myself though and I'm glad I can at least drink that.
Hello! Just try to eat soft food for tonight so it’s easy to digest. But tomorrow you can drink as much as you want. I love beef broth it really helps my hunger a bit. Good luck on your procedure and take it early it will go quick 🥰
@@llandy123 thank you for watching it! I know it’s hard when you can’t find someone that you can watch. That’s why I decided to film mine just to help people like us that had a lot of questions or worried a little bit. Good luck again and before you know it you will be done. 🥰 take care and update us okay.
@@dabby6077 Hi Abby, everything went well. The hunger was the worst part of it all and that wasn't too bad. I had broth, although I found I didn't buy enough (1 family size container went faster than I thought). Next time I'll get juices that are clear to go with it., and get more than I expect to need.
@@llandy123 hello! Oh that was good and you made it! Yay! Thank you for sharing your story here and hope we can continue helping people like us looking for some videos of our experience. I’m glad you made it! 🥰
Thank you for this video! It really helped ease my fears. I am going tomorrow and I suspect I might have the same bacterial infection. Did the yogurt twice daily help? How many days did you make it on the antibiotics? I don’t want antibiotics because I had a past c diff infection 😬 Right now I am taking Manuka honey, extra strong and did have improvement in my symptoms. I’ll find out soon though! P.S. we are the same age and you are so beautiful! 😃
Oh you’re welcome! Hope everything goes well with the procedure sweetie! Have to stop my antibiotic coz i was having reactions to them and the dr said just have yogurt all the time. And if won’t work to get me breath test again. So far it’s been working. Thank you so much for watching and update us with yours if you can too love!
My husband and I are getting ready for our tests and he goes in tomorrow, I will inquire about Sutab and see if I can take them for my test, thanks for the video. It did make me feel better and I will try and stay relaxed. Good suggestions. With regard to Heliobacter Pylori, if that is what you were diagnosed with from the endoscopy, I had it 30 years ago and I did take the antibiotics and the omeprazole and it worked! I had stomach problems for a couple of years before that and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. Once they diagnosed and treated it, I haven't had stomach issues since. If that is what you have, they can test for it with a stool sample at your follow up. If the yogurt works, that would be great! If not, hopefully they can find an antibiotic that works for you. Look forward to your update.
Thank you so much this was so helpful and calming. The only problem I foresee is swallowing those pills I cannot see myself doing it because I cannot swallow pills that size so I have to find out if I can crush them
Hello Mary! I know, the tablet la are huge so if you have any problem swallowing a bigger one maybe you can ask for a different medication. I remember the second time I had colonoscopy I have a small bottle of liquid and it also worked well. Good lock on your procedure love. Just try to relax and it will go quick 🥰
I'm going in for my test tomorrow, I don't have the pills. I have the drink and a lot of it. I will be starting that in a couple of hrs. This is my first test. I'm also getting a scope down my throat, to check out that. I'm nervous.
Hello Mickey! I had the drink the first time and it’s okay, just try to relax when you drink, I had an apple juice as a chaser when I had it. Lol. But good luck with your procedure tomorrow love! Just think it will be over soon too 🙏🏻❤️
@@dabby6077 thank you so very much. I just started the drink. It's like salt water. Not to bad. But a whole lot of it. 😬 God bless you for your kind words.
So I have probably screwed up on my prep since I woke this up and ate cereal...having this procedure tomorrow at 8:45 am tomorrow. Calling my doctor to see if I have to reschedule or do a different prep. Ugh
Hello Susan! Oh no! Yes ask your dr if you could go ahead and do procedure before taking all your meds today. It’s better to be sure. Thank you for stopping by. Good luck on the procedure love!
@@dabby6077 Thanks! Man that prep was crazy.....worked but dang I couldn't get out of the bathroom...lol...almost didn't make it to the procedure on time but I did great, it was clear with no polyps or abnormalities. Don't go back for 10 years and when I do might be just doing the Miralax and Dulcolax prep instead lol
Hello love! I would say just keep drinking water and see what happens. Hopefully by now you’re have the bowel movement already. Sorry! I just saw your message now. Continue also the next dosing. Thanks for watching and good luck on your procedure tomorrow 🙏🏻
Chat with Abby Hi! I have gone a bit, but was it the second does that got you clear per say ? That you so much for your video and info. I greatly appreciate it.
@@caroledavis3741 it might be the case for you that the second dose works. Some of the people I spoke with before that the second one really emptied they colon clean. Also try to get some beef of chicken broth to give you little strength and more fluid. It really does help a lot if you are more hydrated 🥰
@@caroledavis3741 I’m so glad that you got it done and made it love! Now let’s pray that’s it’s all good news and if whatever it is I know there’s always a solution for it! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you again for watching and sharing here ❤️🥰
Thank you for an excellent video. It has really helped and provided moral support. I have a question. Does each sip of water for the Sutab come from the 16 oz container? Or do I drink an additional 16 oz after I've swallowed all the pills? Thank you. Stay kind and compassionate.
Hello! Thank you for watching love! You have to take the 16ounce of water within 20 min while taking those tablets. They just want to make sure that you are drinking enough. And then take another 16 ounce of water after an hour or you could do so if you want to without waiting for an hour. Fluid is a must so the more the better 🥰. Hope it helps and good luck on your procedure 🥰
You only had to take tablets? 😭 I had to take PegLyte 🤢🤮 and couldn’t take more than 3/4 of 4 L (12/16 cups) despite taking Gravol and chilling the drink. I think I was mostly clean inside but from the pictures not 100%. I am thinking of taking PicoSalax if I need another one. Also, you probably weren’t sleeping but were given an anaesthetic that blocks your memory.
Yes, just took the pills and worked for me. This is my third colonoscopy and the first two I was given the liquid ones. Either or I’m sure it will work as long as you finish the whole thing. Hope all went well on the r procedure. Thank you for stopping by🥰
Thank you for sharing this informative video! I wish my colonoscopy had gone as well the first time. I needed the colonoscopy because of severe constipation and big-time rectal bleeding. Every time I went to the toilet, the toilet bowl got red with my blood. Blood tests showed my blood count was dropping from the blood loss. The first time, they gave me Dulcolax, which didn't work at all. So they canceled my colonoscopy. The second time, they gave me Gavilyte G, dissolved in two quarts of water, all of which I had to drink. With a chaser of MiraLAX too. But this combination really worked. I couldn't take the pain of the procedure, so they gave me general anesthesia. But it didn't wear off right away, so I was groggy for hours afterward.
Hi!Just want to ask regarding your gastritis before,is it chronic or acute and did u heal it?Did u lose weight during gastritis?I had endoscopy last June and they found mild gastritis.Hope u will read this.Thanks😊
Hello nanah! Yes I was diagnosed with mild gastritis back in 2006 and they gave me some medications for it! Sometimes it will heal by itself by usually gives you beta blocker. I didn’t loose weight but also ask if you get checked by h.pylori. Hopefully you feel better soon sweetie! Thanks for watching!
Thank u!negative for h.pylori by endoscopy and stool tes.I did bland diet to heal it but its on and off at first but now Im taking the meds I give up.😂 glad u heal yours right away,did u do diet that time?
Hello Malika! Just try to relax tomorrow and make sure you dink lots of fluid. I did got little nervous with the prep I did on this video but I have to tell my self to calm down and it just part of the procedure and I did. 🥰 Good luck and praying for normal results. Thanks for stopping by🥰
@@dabby6077 hi,. Thank you so much for your vedio. The procedure was quick, prep was bad but you eased it. Thank you . I have to repeat it after 3 years.
Starting my sutab tablets this monday. I’m so nervous Lol it’s going to be so tough not being able to eat the whole day. Alil weird that my appointment is at 12pm the next day of the cleaning
Hi! Good luck on your procedure! It’s just like your just fasting, and the dr actually said it’s really good for us to sometimes empty or bowels completely. Promise it will go quickly, just make sure you drink lots of fluid and at least you can have apple juice, jello and some broth🥰
@@ThEREyEsmArK278 j think that’s the advertse reaction of the medication but I would recommend calling your doctor to let them know. Just make sure you don’t get dehydrated. Sorry for a bit late reply I just got out from work.
@ chat with Abby, hi ate can you tell me what symptoms where you having when they diagnosed you with bacterial infection? Where you having pain on upper right abdomen? I’m having pain under my right rib cage, not sure if it’s my stomach, should I ask for endoscopy? I’m having my colonoscopy in less then two weeks, thanks for sharing your experience, very helpful. Thank you in advance 😊
Hello Lanie! The pain I had usually is on my upper stomach, but I had some people told me different areas as well. Why don’t you ask your dr to get endoscopy as well since you’re already getting colonoscopy . Just to be sure and hopefully to see what’s really going on. I hope everything goes well love. Just be on top of everything and let the dr knows you are concerned about it as well. Thank you for watching and good luck! 🙏
Thank you so much for making this video. I just took the 12 pills at once. Now I’m waiting until the morning for my procedure. I’m trying not to think about it. My doctor said nothing but water. Does that sound normal? Also, I never heard of taking 12 pills at once. I live alone. You’re lucky you have your husband. Thanks again. I’m so anxious 😬 **Also, I have to wake up at 2am to take the other 12
Hi Leonardo! I took those 12 tablets within 20 minutes time with lots of liquids. If you’re doctors told you to just take just water then I you have to do his instruction. I think everyone is different and you might have something going on different too. But please ask someone to drive you on the way to your procedure and most importantly after your procedure because you will still be groggy. Thank you so much for watching and good luck on your procedure tomorrow okay. Take cate!
I have an endoscopy scheduled for April, since I have h pylori and currently on treatment. I am freaking about the endoscopy! I never been put to sleep before please help! 😊
Hello love! Just try to relax and think it’s just another procedure that we all have to go through to make sure of our health. I work in VA and sometimes they do colonoscopy without making some patients sleep. But ask your dr if they can do that for you too. Everyone is different, but I was out to sleep as well as my husband and they use a mild sedation that you will be awake in within minutes to an hour. But talk to your dr about it sweetie. Hope all goes well! Update is okay. Thank you so much for stopping by. 🥰
@@integrachic2953 you are welcome and thank you so much! We can do this! I’m actually driving my husband to his colonoscopy today as well. Let’s keep us all healthy🥰 take care!
@@dabby6077 did you take antibiotics for h pylori? I’m on my 10th day today is the last day of antibiotics. I do see some improvement but I’m scared I didn’t fully eradicate it. :(
@@integrachic2953 have to stop the antibiotics because I was having reaction with taking two. They have two combinations. But I’ve been eating yogurt a days so it’s been helping so far and omeprazole every morning.
I just took the sutab and can't leave the restroom, I have to go in tomorrow by noon to have the procedure. What causes polyps? Can it prevented by diet?
Hello there! Good luck on your procedure tomorrow! Typically, a polyp is an abnormal growth in the lining of the colon that protrudes into the colon. Also It could be genetics or chronic injury to a cell from conditions like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. But hopefully your biopsy will all be normal! Prayers for you tomorrow my friend! Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much for posting this. Could you maybe explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that freaks me out!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the video. You are so brave. I'm just not sure I can go through with mine. I may cancel. Just too scared. But I'm extremely phobic of doctors and masks are a serious trigger. So who knows?
@@dabby6077 Thanks. My consult is on Nov. 11. If they can work with my anxiety, I can get through anything. But too often healthcare workers aren't good at managing my triggers. But hopefully I can get through it.
@@devinevee8684 I am scheduled for Jan 27. Still just trying to find a way to survive. Eating as little as possible. Taking some laxatives, but my anxiety is destroying me. I've been literally worried sick. I'm living with daily migraines since this has been scheduled.
@@jessman8597 hello Jess! I know you’re having a hard time right now. I know somebody that’s almost like you that doesn’t want to deal with any medical things.

Thank you so much for your video. I have my very first colonoscopy tomorrow, I'm 55. Today is my prep day and have been a little anxious. You helped me relax some and feel that it will all be ok. Thank your for sharing.
Thank you, everything went to well. You helped me get through the prep process. Completed sutab 9/8/2022 colonoscopy on Friday 9/9/2022. I was clean as a whistle! Best to you always…
Hello Khymie! I’m so glad you made it love! I’m so happy that this video is been helping some of us here. It was my third colonoscopy and I was the same before looking for videos how was it done. So that’s why I made this and thankfully it’s helping even for a little bit. Thank you for watching and let’s continue to be healthy ❤️❤️❤️
I never see anybody warn other people about the aftermath of this dual procedure and I'm talking about right afterwards in the recovery room. I'll just say this in order for them to get good pictures they pump you up with air. Well that air has to go somewhere and I don't know about anyone else but I wasn't warned about it and I was not the only one in the recovery room. Embarrassing to say the least. I couldn't stop passing gas and all my husband could say was "that's my girl" Funny story in hindsight horrifying at the time.
Hahaha! It happens to everybody. Funny thing is my husband took a video of me the very first time I had colonoscopy and you can hear from that video. The good thing is we ate so clean so doesn’t really smell anything at all 🥰 thanks for sharing and watching ☺️
@@dabby6077 you was excellent
@@olgagarcia8890 thank you love 🥰
Glad you were able to pass the gas 🌪️
Happens to everyone and no one should be embarrassed 😬
Thank you soooo much for this video! I have to schedule colonoscopy and endoscopy in the next few weeks, and I really wanted to know how the Sutab prep was. I'm 66 and this will be my first time getting both procedures, so I'm really anxious. I feel much better after watching this. I think one of the biggest take aways from your video is how you kept yourself calm and relaxed. And knowing what you had to eat/drink is a big help so I can have everything on hand to have choices in case one thing isn't good I can just try something else.
Also, thanks for the extra info on your endoscopy results. Good to know about the yogurt even if I am prescribed antibiotics. Wish you all the best, and thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so happy that this video was really helping some people. I was once like you I was looking for people that had it done and only few I found. Good luck on your procedure and let me know if you have any questions. 🥰
@@dabby6077 💕
Yeah, I'm 60 and my 1rst time for both procedures. It's not easy when you have panic attacks but I'll medicate for that
@@Former_Pastor❤
Thanks for this video it helped me a lot. I just had my first colonoscopy and 2nd endoscopy today. Even-though I used wipes I still was raw back there. Also the 2nd set of tabs made me sick, so definitely may need a trash bag by your bed. I was going up til they put the IV in for procedure but the nurse said that was normal. Also I had to eat light after the procedure and then she said that night I can go for the gusto. I’m so glad it’s over and done with. Good luck to everyone else who has to go through this process🤎
Hello Alysha! I’m so glad you made it sweetie! Thanks for stopping by here and helping one another through sharing our experiences. I’m glad you got it done! 🥰
I’ve heard if you take a bit longer to take the tablets - like wait a few sips before taking another - can help reduce the chance of stomach issues. I did mine really quickly - under 10 minutes - so I’m gonna take my time taking the tablets tomorrow morning for the 2nd dose.
As to the rawness, ease it with liberal amounts of warm water applied with a fresh washing-up sponge. (Don't use the sponge later to do the washing-up!)
Just had my colonoscopy and endoscopy earlier this morning. I handled the SUTAB with no problem. It started working 30 minutes after I started the first pill. I only had one polyp but it was a big one. The doctor was able to remove it then put a small clip in until it healed.
Oh that’s nice to know that got it done already and had that polyp removed. Wishing you for a fast recovery and thank you so much for watching 🥰
Did you notice any physical improvements afterwards?
@@JohnQPublic345 yes I gradually improved
I'm supposed to have one soon and I'm scared to death. I have a consult in 3 weeks. Not sure if I can go through with it. I'm just too scared.
@@jessman8597 I thought the same as you but after the procedure I felt silly because there's really nothing to it at all. The worst part is the prep the day before but the colonoscopy and endoscopy are painless.
Hi. Great Video. I am 68, I live in Australia and this week just had my 3rd Colonoscopy. Many years ago I also had an endoscopy. In Australia they get you to take 3 Satches of Picosalax which you take 2 hours apart. Different product but the end result is the same. My first colonoscopy found I had Polyps which they removed during the procedure, then tests 5 years apart. I got my all-clear results for this test on the same day and feel really good about getting it done, as its one less thing to think about. I know I am good for the next 5 years! If its suggested to you, or see differences in your body, get the test done. It doesn't hurt, you dont know whats taking place and Its well worth it.
Hello Mr Patrick! Thank you so much for sharing you experience. I’m sure there’s many of us here wanted to know how it goes and one thing that I can really advice is that if you’re feeling something different always get it check. I’m so glad that everything is good with you right now sir and thank you for watching. 🥰
I was actually really p*ssed off, because they found a polyp in the transverse colon, but didn't remove it because they said I hadn't stopped taking my blood thinner (Edoxaban) soon enough. This was totally contrary to the pre-procedure advice I was given, both verbally and in writing, to stop it one day before. Instead, the endoscopist placed a marker tattoo on the polyp and I'll probably have to go in again in one or two weeks' time, depending on the results of the biopsies.
Thank you for this video. To be honest I was having extreme anxiety as to what to expect w/this prep, especially because I have IBS & get very sick & painful cramping from it. So far I've finished the 1st bottle of pills & no pain & I was basically worrying for nothing. This prep is a piece of cake. My dr did recommend taking 2 Gas-X Extreme b4 beginning the 1st bottle & taking an additional 3 more Gas-X Extreme when beginning the 2nd bottle & I feel that definitely helped too.. Watching your video truly helped calm my nerves so THANK YOU!! ❤️
Hello Kristen! I’m happy that it’s helping you right now. I know how you feel I’ve been there. Yes, just keep on drinking fluids we don’t want to get dehydrated when doing this fasting. Especially when your having lots of bowel movement. Good luck on your procedure tomorrow and just try to relax, listen to music or watch your favorite movie or show. It will go quick promise. Take cate 🥰🥰🥰
What was the gas X for? Nausea or gas ?
I started Sutab yesterday at 4:30 pm. Cut the water about 50% with diet 7 up which made it much easier to swallow the pills quickly. First bowel movement 50 minutes after last tab. Went about 7 times over around 4 hours. Used a shower hose on the bottom after each movement and then put some rolled up toilet paper in my rear to keep underpants from possibly soiling. Had no issues. Sleep well - and only got up middle of the night to pee.
Started second dose at 6:30 am. Pills went down easily with my diet 7 up mix. Had first movement about 50 minutes later.
Procedure is at 3 pm today. Taking Uber to the surgery center - wife picking me up at 4:30 pm. Prefer afternoon procedures since I did not want to having movements that would disrupt sleep.
Chicken broth yesterday kept hunger pangs away. Looking forward to a small pizza for dinner tonight - although I am not hungry now.
Hi! Wow that’s sounds that you really had it easy. Thank you so much for sharing and giving lots of ideas. Good luck on the procedure later🙏
OMG thanks so much for this video! First time with Sutab (not my first colonoscopy). I was searching Google and got so scared as I have a weak stomach and get nauseous easily. I'm doing this next week and after watching your video will probably not be so nervous.
Hi Kathy! I was feeling the same thing too before taking the sutab. But just take them slowly and working 20 minutes with the right amount of water. Usually we get too nervous because we don’t know what’s going to happened and that’s why I think making this video will make a little easier for us. Just try to relax and good luck on your procedure love. Update is okay. Take care ❤️
Just took my first dose. Nauseous but working thru it. Thank you for this video because it helped.
Hello! You are welcome and good luck on your procedure love 🥰🙏

Doing Sutab tonight. Much better than my last colonoscopy. It was pricey… but so much better so far.
That’s really good! Good luck on your procedure tomorrow love!
Just had an endoscopy a day ago. I didnt feel a thing, it was so quick and easy wow. You guys everything Abby said in the video is true.

@@bettyausten9533 hi Betty! Don’t be! It’s an easy procedure and as long as you prep really good the day before. I was not awake when they did it, there are some people that are awake and they are totally fine with it. But you can always tell your dr to be sedated if are not comfortable to be awake. 🥰 good luck on your procedure love!
Hi. No I wasn’t awake sedated. I didn’t feel a thing. I said hi to the the doctor and anesthesiologist and next thing you know I wake up and said it’s done? It was so quick easy and a great experience for me. I was worrying a lot few days before my endoscopy and colonoscopy it was really a wonderful procedure. I feel even better knowing what the doctor are able to find and treat at the same time. Best of luck and let us know how it goes.
That's where you are lying. You are awake and my God it hurts.

Hello! I’m
Glad that every procedures are good. I’m the same way, just need to continue getting it check. Praying that it will always stay normal. Thank you for watching and good luck on your procedure, we’re already both pro on it 😊.
Had mine today .. the "worst" part is the prep .. the procedure itself was completely painless and was actually really good sleep 🤣. If you are on the fence .. I encourage you to get it done. It's not bad .. just lots of bathroom visits and liquid drinking!
Very true! I’m glad you got it done! Thabjs for stopping by here and letting us know. 🥰
I am addicted to flying drones. During my "sleep" I dreamt about soaring around the sky looking out of one of my drones at the stunning scenery". It couldn't have been a nicer experience!
I had colonoscopy twice before but this would be the first time with Sutab, so lets see what happens tomorrow, Thanks for the great information! be safe
Hi! Thank you! I hope it works well with you! I think I did exactly what I was supposed to do. I took the tablets in within 20 minutes with the liquid. And after that just keep drinking liquid. Apple juice helps a lot with ice. 🥰 good luck!
Well, I swear by Moviprep. Three colonoscopies and Moviprep starts working 30 minutes after the first 250ml. It tastes foul, but does the (big) job.
Thank you for posting this. I am having my 3rd colonoscopy next month. Just picked up Sutab and this will be first time using this prep. They told me 1 tablet every 2 min (set a timer) when taking otherwise will 🤮. I am feeling a bit anxious, but your video helped me ease up a bit. 👍
Hello Lisa! Yes, as long as you take the tablets in writhin 20 minutes time. That’s what I did and of course you can take as much as water you want or any allowed juice. Good luck on your procedure love, pls update us okay. Thank you for sharing and you can do this 🥰
I used the pills for colonoscopy about a week ago. The process went pretty smooth for me. Set the timer and took 1 pill every 2 min. Had a few tiny polyps (benign) and will be doing this again in 3-5 years.
So glad I came across your video. I'm not going to Google anything else about the prep and go on this. I'm not worried about the procedure just a mess about the prep. This will be my first for the colonoscopy and endoscopy. Thank you for the good vibes and pleasant words to help me through this process. Bless you ❤
Oh thank you so much! I’m so glad this video is able to help some of us that are little worried about the prep and procedure. It was my 3rd one that’s why I decided to make a video of it. Well, I hope hoes well love and will be praying for you! Thanks for watching! 🥰

Thank you so much for this! I start my prep today for my colonoscopy tomorrow and this is exactly what I needed to know. Wasn’t sure about how to go about the process but this kind of helps my anxiety over it. I had done Cologuard at home test that came back positive so now I have to do a more invasive test. I got nervous when reading the box that it said it takes 2 days for prep but my doctor’s office instructions said for day before prepping. The office instructions are just as you did it so I will be good✅
Take care and thanks again!
Hello! I’m so glad that my video helped. And I hope your procedure tomorrow goes well and see what’s really going on. Thank you for watching the video and hope you can give us an update! 🙏
The secret to prepping is to start eating a very light, bland diet four or five days before the procedure. Scrambled eggs, white fish cooked in the microwave, white toast etc. Then the prep doesn't have so much cr*p to get rid of. Then, after the colonoscopy, you can soon build up your protein and carb intake again.
I need to go for a colonoscopy next tuesday. Im only 42yrs old. Im terrified of going through the prep and the whole scope procedure and removal of polyps if any. Been crying as im so scared. Watching your video gives me abit of confidence that i will be ok. I hope and pray i will be ok. Thank you for sharing your experience
Hello Marlini! You are very welcome and what im saying to our other friends here, jusy try to relax on the day before the procedure thats hardest part but think jt will be just for that day and the procedure itself will be quick and easy.

It’s really important to kinda push yourself to find a doctor that will listen and finally will do these steps. I had so many dr just gave me some medicines that only make you feel better for awhile. I’m happy for you that you’re finally getting it done love! Good luck 🙏
I had a combined gastroscopy and colonoscopy last Friday and the gastroscopy was way worse than the colonoscopy, in terms of discomfort. And I had stomach discomfort for three days afterwards. Admittedly, the colonoscopy was no fun either, but better tolerated, except when the 'scope has to bend around to navigate the transverse colon. This is three times now that I've had both procedures, though the two gastroscopies earlier were 30 years ago when I could probably tolerate the procedure much easier.
Hi dear!
Thank you for sharing your experience🙏🏻
My doc prescribed this to me today, so I was looking what is Sutab..
I had HPylory too and successfully treated it, but now I have to deal with damage it caused in my stomach.
Doc told me today that my sister missed that time (she died from cancer in 44 y.o), so the bacteria caused cancer;(((
So I have a good chance to be cured.
We underestimate our health risks, especially now with such amount of chemicals in our food.
So those videos like yours may help others, please continue 🙏🏻❤️

Not sure the Sutab is any easier than the movi prep which I had taken for my first colonoscopy 10 years ago. Somewhat anxious about going in as I have a new doctor this time. I hope they put me out for the procedure. Also have had stomach issues for the last 20 years and have been on omeprazole for 10 years. Doctor switched me to Pantoprazole which seems to work well for me and my acid reflux. Hopefully your stomach issues will resolve soon!
Hello Sir! Thank you for watching my video! Good luck on your procedure later and I hope everything turns well. Have a great holiday as well.
I have a colonoscopy scheduled for Monday. I bought the Sutab tablets. I appreciate your video.
Thanks for watching and good luck on your procedure on Monday 🥰
@@dabby6077 Thank you. I'm a bit nervous but my wife is much supporting me. 🙏
How was your experience overall? I saw in the video that you said that you were nervous was it because of the pills or the procedure?
@@ramrock9441 Hi! I think I was like in the middle of taking the pills when I get little nauseous but sometime I know it’s all in our mind. So what I did was just tried to relax and told my self ttat I can do this and its just part of the procedure. And it worked 🥰
This is so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to document your experience and sharing it with all of us.
Hello! You are welcome! I was on the same boat as you the first time getting the procedure. I was looking for some video here in TH-cam. So I decided to make this video and hoping to give some ideas for others. Thank you so much for watching 🥰hope all goes well with yours 🙏
@@dabby6077 you're the sweetest. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I just had colonoscopy & endoscopy on Monday. I used a Gatorade/Miralax/Dulcolax combination for my prep. It was fine. I could have never swallowed those horse pills!
I have to start my liquid diet tomorrow, and then at 4:00pm start with the 12 tablets. They told me to take two every 30 minutes until all 12 are gone. Then my colonscopy and endoscopy are scheduled for Monday @8:00am. They told me to take the second half of the 12 pills 4 hrs before my procedure the morning of. Wonder why they don't do it the same for everyone?
I know! Before my procedure I’ve been watching other’s people experiences too here in TH-cam and they have different procedure of how to take the tablets or liquids. I guess the best thing is just to follow whatever your dr told you to do. It’s my third colonoscopy and the way my dr wants me to do it always work so far. This time I took the sutab and I like it better than the liquids I had before. Good luck with your procedure it will go fast. Just take it easy tomorrow and know that liquids diet is also good for us 🥰
Thank you for your video, tomorrow I have my colonoscopy and your information helped me a lot.
You’re welcome! Thank you so much for watching! Hope everything goes well love!
@@dabby6077 yes thank you. Everything went well.
@@fgoitia2 yay! Thank god!
Thanks for posting your experience. It helped ease my nerves about the Sutab route.
Hi! You are very welcome! Good luck on ulit procedure and thank you so much for watching! 🥰
My prep was a disaster! I used Clenpiq and I couldn’t keep the second bottle down. Vomiting all night with no sleep. Next day, I was queasy and shaking. The procedure was fine and clear. I would caution people about doing the full amount of laxative, especially if you’re a smaller person, as long as your running clear stools.
Oh no! That was scary experience I’m so sorry you have to go through that. But I’m glad the procedure went well sweetie. Thanks for sharing your experience 🥰
Will Aerlry , I am only 113 lbs. I’m afraid to take so much laxatives
I’m 70 and Never had this procedure 🥲 because I’m so afraid 😱
@@wendyrodriguez5375 My advice is to take it slow and don’t force things. Start with half a dose and only take more if you need it. The last thing I ate the day before was an orange to let me know as a marker when I was almost done with the flush. The good news is that all the nausea goes away when they put you to sleep, but I still had laxative in my system the next day.
Hello Will! I’m sorry you have to go through that. But good that everything is went well on your procedure.
Sutab is the way to go. I was first given Plenvu, and it was terrible. I got maybe 1/3 of the first dose down. I called the on call doctor and luckily got a prescription for Sutab before the pharmacy closed. That was so easy by comparison. I don't know why I wasn't given the option from the start.
Yes, i was happy with the sutab 🥰
Insurance 😢sadly. They don't care
Thanks so much for this video! I go next week for an endoscopy and colonoscopy and have been ordered the Sutab prep. You have put my mind at ease :)
Thanks for sharing your experience. I have my first one coming up in a few weeks and was wondering what to expect.
Oh hello Tim! Thank you for watching this video! I’m really glad that people actually appreciate it. I was the same thing when I first did my colonoscopy, I was looking for video from people that experience the procedure. So, I decided to make this video and hoping thay can help others too. I’m sure you will be fine, just follow what your dr’s instruction and it’s suppose to be a quick procedure. Good luck on your procedure and hopefully you can update us here. 🥰
This was phenomenal 😂 thank you so much for sharing! I feel much more confident about my procedure next week!
Thankful that I was able to help in some ways. Thank you for stopping by and good luck on your procedure ❤️
Procedure was yesterday, and no polyps! A couple of patches of irritated diverticuliti. Adding yogurt and benefiber, that should help. Thank you so so much for this vid, I watched it again on Su day before the procedure and it helped a LOT considering I was using the Sutab prep as well. I hope this vid continues to help people unsure what to expect, it helped me incredibly! ❤
@@nycgatita Hello! I’m so glad that you’re procedure is done and it went well. Thank you so much for watching as well and thankful this video helped. 🥰
@@nycgatita I am so glad it all went well! Thank you so much for sharing 🥰🙏
@@laniesider2586 Hiya! The pills went down with water, one, every two minutes. And I had no adverse reactions. Pooping in about 40-60 minutes and then again every 15-30 minutes. Highly recommend the pill prep! All normal results and my doctor recommended a colonoscopy every five years. No diverticulitis. Just slight irritation, Benefiber should take care of.
Thank you for sharing! I’m going to be taking SUTAB at noon today because I’m having my colonoscopy/endoscopy tomorrow. I’m not looking to this. I’ve had two colonoscopies in the past. The prep that I was given was so awful, that’s why I chose the tablets. I remember thinking why didn’t they make a pill? I’m a little nervous seeing how big they are, but it’s so much better than the drink!! Thanks for posting this. It is so helpful!
Hello! Im glad that this video can help. 🥰Sutab is so much better! Just take them slowly and take a deep breath and try to relax. Good luck on your procedure, you got this! It’s going to be a quick one! 🙏
Thank you! Thank you! You have helped ease my stress. I’m having both these procedures this coming Monday. I googled and and then I went onto TH-cam and found you🙌 I feel so much better. I am still a little nervous about the pills as I hate taking horse size pills but I will deal with it. Thank you so much for sharing your video.
@@janetmcnichol8803 Hi! You are so welcome! I’m so glad that this video is been helping some of us here. I really planned to take video of this one because I was once like you and looking for people that had the procedure done. Good luck on Monday and praying this everything will be okay. 🥰🙏
I had both tests done same time first endoscopy then immediately Clonoscopy but Clonoscopy was very painful very unpleasant i was telling get the thing out but nurse was holding me tight anyway results was ok they took upper and lower biopsies nothing found but my stomach still gastric and always discomfort
Hi! We’re you awake? I know sometimes they don’t use any sedation for some other risk or any high risk patients like for example for women is if you’re pregnant. But at least you got it done and thankful both are normal. Thank you for watching 🥰
Thanks for sharing your video. I will be doing the Sutab prep tomorrow and I’m more worried about swallowing this giant size pills in 20 mins 🤦🏻♀️ I’m definitely going to need more water and time . I wish they made the pills smaller 😩
Hello! Yes I know, those tables were gigantic ☺️ but once you just think that it’s better than the liquid that I use to drink you will be fine with it 😉 good luck on your procedure love! Update us okay. Thanks a lot!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video. It made me feel less anxious. I have had to cancel a colonoscopy in the past because I couldn't not keep the movi-prep down at all. I had also tried a different name that I forgot now, but I am excited to try SuTab...as much as I can be. 😇
Oh you’re so welcome! I’m so glad that this video is been helping to few of us here. It’s my third colonoscopy so I decided to record everything so it can help some people. I was looking for a video before here in TH-cam as well before my first one and I just could find much. Hopefully your procedure will go well my friend and always remember the prep day will go quick just think that it will be just for a day! God bless! Thanks for watching!
I just did my Edoscopy + Colonoscopy last week and also did the Sutab prep. I also got severe anxiety both times I took it. I don't think it was just you. Mine was definitely a reaction from the medication.
@@alwayswantedababy4563 Hi! Thanks for watching! I know, it might be it too, I had a friend also got so nervous while taking it. I hope everything went well love! 🥰
I keep on burping for almost 3 months and different medicines I took (e.g. Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, other kinds of -prazole) didn’t work. So my doctor might push me to undergo endoscopy very soon, maybe this week or the following week to see the problem. Thank you for sharing this because I’m a bit nervous about the procedure. I’m just 27 yrs old. Hopefully the result of my endoscopy will not be that serious and can be treated easily.
Hello Alfie! It’s really good that you’re getting it check and it’s better to know how to fix it. Just always think positive, good luck on your procedure and please let us know how it goes okay. Take cate and thanks for watching and sharing with us.
Hi Alfie. How did it go?
Thank you for this! I'm a little anxious!
Hi Leslie! Thanks for watching and try to relax! It will go quick 🥰
Sutab is total crap! I started it at 1:30pm and it didn't clean me out, so I was unable to have my colonoscopy, which sucked cause I was on a liquid diet for 2 days.
Sorry it didn’t work for you! I guess everyone is different. I’ve Heard it also with other people that liquid is better for them☺️
Sutab worked great for me
I got done at 530 taking my first set of pills and it’s 720 and I still haven’t gone potty 😮What is going on ? So strange I’m drinking water like it says and Gatorade and nothing 😮 I’m starting to worry but my tummy is rumbling but yet no feeling of having to go number 2 uggg ☹️ I don’t know if I should take the second dose or not since I haven’t even started going potty with the first dose ?
Just hang in there sweetie! Keep drinking liquid and try to relax. And yes, continue taking the second dosage of your medication. Hopefully it’s coming soon and good luck on your prcodefurre tomorrow!
@@dabby6077 Omg Thank you so much for your getting back to me and for your comforting words and advice ❤️ You were right !

Thank you so much and for watching love! 🥰
Thank you for sharing as this is very helpful for my 5 year by month end with both procedures.
You are very welcome! I am very happy that this video can help even for a little bit. Thank you for watching 🥰
Thanks for sharing this is very insightful. I've been having lower right side adominal pain (dull pain come and go etc.) for over 3 years now and now decided to have it checked out (should have done it soon). With your diagnosis, did you experience dull pain on either of the lower side of the adominal? Hope it's just an infection and not cancer.
Hello! Mostly the pain I got was from upper middle abdominal pain. Yes, it’s better to get it check right away, let’s just hope and pray it’s something that can be treated. Stay strong and good Luck on your procedure. Update us and take care!
@@dabby6077 Got lucky diagnosed with Diverticulitis. Will probably take some antibiotic and keep a good balance on the diet high on fiber for now.
@@baycchief3785 hello! At least you know what is really wrong right! So glad it’s over and let’s just keep a good diet 🥰
@@baycchief3785 glad your doing ok, how often did they say you have to do a colonoscopy after diagnosis with diverticulitis? I was diagnosed with mild diverticulosis through a CT scan, started diarrhea along with a dull upper right abdomen pain. How was your experience with taking the pill? Any vomiting? Cramps? After taking the first 12 pills? What helped you get through it? I can’t really drink a lot of water, it has to be juice. How did you stay hydrated? Anything besides water I can drink? Thank you in advance.
@@laniesider2586 Actually it is "Diverticulosis" (not yet Diverticulitis which meant no infection or anything in that single pouche yet). I believe every 10 year should check out. My CT scan didn't find anything either from small intestines, heart, liver, kidneys, pacreas etc. so the mystery is still w/ the lower right adominal pain (just minor pain come and go). The pain can be controlled if eating healthy but so far all the doctors said they couldn't fine/locate the root cause of the dull aching pain). No obstruction internally. Good thing is that it's not cancer or tumor inside or anything in that nature and will just keep monitoring for the time being.
Thank you for making this! Tomorrow is my day for the pills.. I have the exact same pills. I was trying to figure out how late I could eat tonight because I have mine at 10 am the next day so I have to go at least 38 hours without food if I stop at 8 PM tonight. I did buy some chicken broth for myself though and I'm glad I can at least drink that.
Hello! Just try to eat soft food for tonight so it’s easy to digest. But tomorrow you can drink as much as you want. I love beef broth it really helps my hunger a bit. Good luck on your procedure and take it early it will go quick 🥰
@@dabby6077 Thanks! I was starting to feel pretty nervous about this and this video helped me calm down a bit :)
@@llandy123 thank you for watching it! I know it’s hard when you can’t find someone that you can watch.

Good luck again and before you know it you will be done. 🥰 take care and update us okay.
@@dabby6077 Hi Abby, everything went well. The hunger was the worst part of it all and that wasn't too bad. I had broth, although I found I didn't buy enough (1 family size container went faster than I thought). Next time I'll get juices that are clear to go with it., and get more than I expect to need.
@@llandy123 hello! Oh that was good and you made it! Yay! Thank you for sharing your story here and hope we can continue helping people like us looking for some videos of our experience. I’m glad you made it! 🥰
Thank you for this video! It really helped ease my fears. I am going tomorrow and I suspect I might have the same bacterial infection. Did the yogurt twice daily help? How many days did you make it on the antibiotics? I don’t want antibiotics because I had a past c diff infection 😬 Right now I am taking Manuka honey, extra strong and did have improvement in my symptoms. I’ll find out soon though! P.S. we are the same age and you are so beautiful! 😃
Oh you’re welcome! Hope everything goes well with the procedure sweetie! Have to stop my antibiotic coz i was having reactions to them and the dr said just have yogurt all the time. And if won’t work to get me breath test again. So far it’s been working. Thank you so much for watching and update us with yours if you can too love!
I had both done once I wondered if the cameras would see one another doctor said the small intestine was between.
My husband and I are getting ready for our tests and he goes in tomorrow, I will inquire about Sutab and see if I can take them for my test, thanks for the video. It did make me feel better and I will try and stay relaxed. Good suggestions. With regard to Heliobacter Pylori, if that is what you were diagnosed with from the endoscopy, I had it 30 years ago and I did take the antibiotics and the omeprazole and it worked! I had stomach problems for a couple of years before that and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. Once they diagnosed and treated it, I haven't had stomach issues since. If that is what you have, they can test for it with a stool sample at your follow up. If the yogurt works, that would be great! If not, hopefully they can find an antibiotic that works for you. Look forward to your update.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
You are welcome! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
Thank you so much this was so helpful and calming. The only problem I foresee is swallowing those pills I cannot see myself doing it because I cannot swallow pills that size so I have to find out if I can crush them
Hello Mary! I know, the tablet la are huge so if you have any problem swallowing a bigger one maybe you can ask for a different medication. I remember the second time I had colonoscopy I have a small bottle of liquid and it also worked well. Good lock on your procedure love. Just try to relax and it will go quick 🥰
There having me take a drink instead of SUTAB which is amazing for me because I have a fear of pills
Hi! Oh that’s okay too! I did the liquids on my two colonoscopy before this third one. It also works well 🥰
I'm going in for my test tomorrow, I don't have the pills. I have the drink and a lot of it. I will be starting that in a couple of hrs. This is my first test. I'm also getting a scope down my throat, to check out that. I'm nervous.
Hello Mickey! I had the drink the first time and it’s okay, just try to relax when you drink, I had an apple juice as a chaser when I had it. Lol. But good luck with your procedure tomorrow love! Just think it will be over soon too 🙏🏻❤️

Thank you for an excellent video. It has really helped and provided moral support.
I have a question. Does each sip of water for the Sutab come from the 16 oz container? Or do I drink an additional 16 oz after I've swallowed all the pills?
Thank you. Stay kind and compassionate.
Hello! Thank you for watching love! You have to take the 16ounce of water within 20 min while taking those tablets. They just want to make sure that you are drinking enough. And then take another 16 ounce of water after an hour or you could do so if you want to without waiting for an hour. Fluid is a must so the more the better 🥰. Hope it helps and good luck on your procedure 🥰
@@dabby6077 Thank you so very much, Abby!
You only had to take tablets? 😭 I had to take PegLyte 🤢🤮 and couldn’t take more than 3/4 of 4 L (12/16 cups) despite taking Gravol and chilling the drink. I think I was mostly clean inside but from the pictures not 100%.
I am thinking of taking PicoSalax if I need another one.
Also, you probably weren’t sleeping but were given an anaesthetic that blocks your memory.
Yes, just took the pills and worked for me. This is my third colonoscopy and the first two I was given the liquid ones. Either or I’m sure it will work as long as you finish the whole thing. Hope all went well on the r procedure. Thank you for stopping by🥰
Thank you for sharing this informative video!
I wish my colonoscopy had gone as well the first time.
I needed the colonoscopy because of severe constipation and big-time rectal bleeding. Every time I went to the toilet, the toilet bowl got red with my blood. Blood tests showed my blood count was dropping from the blood loss.
The first time, they gave me Dulcolax, which didn't work at all. So they canceled my colonoscopy.
The second time, they gave me Gavilyte G, dissolved in two quarts of water, all of which I had to drink. With a chaser of MiraLAX too. But this combination really worked.
I couldn't take the pain of the procedure, so they gave me general anesthesia. But it didn't wear off right away, so I was groggy for hours afterward.
What was the routine for dolculax because I have this at home, 2 pills really flush me out
@@Former_Pastor
I didn't get totally flushed out even after 4 Dulcolax pills. That's how severe my constipation was at the time.

Thank you so much for making this video. I just took the 12 pills at once. Now I’m waiting until the morning for my procedure. I’m trying not to think about it. My doctor said nothing but water. Does that sound normal? Also, I never heard of taking 12 pills at once. I live alone. You’re lucky you have your husband. Thanks again. I’m so anxious 😬
**Also, I have to wake up at 2am to take the other 12
Hi Leonardo! I took those 12 tablets within 20 minutes time with lots of liquids. If you’re doctors told you to just take just water then I you have to do his instruction. I think everyone is different and you might have something going on different too. But please ask someone to drive you on the way to your procedure and most importantly after your procedure because you will still be groggy. Thank you so much for watching and good luck on your procedure tomorrow okay. Take cate!

Hello love! Just try to relax and think it’s just another procedure that we all have to go through to make sure of our health. I work in VA and sometimes they do colonoscopy without making some patients sleep. But ask your dr if they can do that for you too. Everyone is different, but I was out to sleep as well as my husband and they use a mild sedation that you will be awake in within minutes to an hour. But talk to your dr about it sweetie.

@@integrachic2953 you are welcome and thank you so much! We can do this! I’m actually driving my husband to his colonoscopy today as well. Let’s keep us all healthy🥰 take care!
@@dabby6077 did you take antibiotics for h pylori? I’m on my 10th day today is the last day of antibiotics. I do see some improvement but I’m scared I didn’t fully eradicate it. :(
@@integrachic2953 have to stop the antibiotics because I was having reaction with taking two. They have two combinations. But I’ve been eating yogurt a days so it’s been helping so far and omeprazole every morning.
I just took the sutab and can't leave the restroom, I have to go in tomorrow by noon to have the procedure. What causes polyps? Can it prevented by diet?
Hello there! Good luck on your procedure tomorrow! Typically, a polyp is an abnormal growth in the lining of the colon that protrudes into the colon. Also It could be genetics or chronic injury to a cell from conditions like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. But hopefully your biopsy will all be normal! Prayers for you tomorrow my friend! Thanks for watching.
@@dabby6077 Thank you!! Thanks for sharing!!
@@hordegaming8652You are welcome! Hang in there it will be quick. Just make sure you hydrate a lot! 🥰
Thanks so much for posting this. Could you maybe explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that freaks me out!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the video. You are so brave. I'm just not sure I can go through with mine. I may cancel. Just too scared. But I'm extremely phobic of doctors and masks are a serious trigger. So who knows?
Hello Jess! Yes you can do it. If we all did it I’m sure you will be okay. Just follow your dr’s advice. Good luck okay.
@@dabby6077 Thanks. My consult is on Nov. 11. If they can work with my anxiety, I can get through anything. But too often healthcare workers aren't good at managing my triggers. But hopefully I can get through it.
I feel the same way, high anxiety. Did you ever go through with it?
@@devinevee8684 I am scheduled for Jan 27. Still just trying to find a way to survive. Eating as little as possible. Taking some laxatives, but my anxiety is destroying me. I've been literally worried sick. I'm living with daily migraines since this has been scheduled.
@@jessman8597 hello Jess! I know you’re having a hard time right now. I know somebody that’s almost like you that doesn’t want to deal with any medical things. But just try to see if you can talk to your primary care physician if he or she can help you with your anxiety and migraines first. I hope they can get it resolve because our mental health is very important than anything else. I am wishing everything goes well with you and will pray that you will go through all of this. Just reach out okay. We are here to help.
Thank you for this video !
You’re welcome and thank you for watching 🥰
Much better than the liquid!!
I had liquid. Suprep 5day prep, I was so weak and sick I couldn’t walk, my legs were just too weak.
Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome and Thank you for watching 🥰
thanks for sharing.
Hello! You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching! 🥰 Hope it helps!
Having mine tomorrow 😱
So funny I just went to my colonoscopy yesterday same place ! Prep wasn’t bad.. just hard to wake up so early
Oh that’s nice! It wasn’t so bad now a days. You don’t need that big jug of fluid anymore. 🥰
Ok how.big are the pills?
Thanks for this. I have mine scheduled in August with Sutab.
Hi! You’re welcome! Good luck on your procedure. I hope it will go smoothly love!
I don't recommend any1 to take a risk like this cuz # 1 there are no guarantees in this life.
Did you get a general anesthetic
Hello Eppi! I got deep sedation with the anesthetic propofol🥰 thanks for watching and good luck with the procedure love.
Do you know the difference between the instruments used for a colonoscopy versus an endoscopy? (Wait for it....) THE TASTE!!! 🤣
Hello! I don’t know the instrument they use. 😊
What symptoms did you have?
Good video
Thank you so much for watching 🥰
That prep gives the system an awful hammering.
Hi !Did it work well with you?
@@dabby6077 Did it work? Lol That is an understatement. It blew the ass of me lol
@@galwaytribesman9289 hahaha ☺️
@@dabby6077 That stuff is like a bomb to the body. I was running to the toilet for a couple of days even after the colonoscopy and I had to exercise extreme caution breaking wind. Hahahahahahha.
Hi!Just want to ask regarding your gastritis before,is it chronic or acute and did u heal it?Did u lose weight during gastritis?I had endoscopy last June and they found mild gastritis.Hope u will read this.Tbanks😊
You are very helpful
Thank you for watching! Hope goes well 🙏
What time the second dose? You confuse me
Put the prep in the freezer until it gets " slushy " and it will go down easier .
That’s a good idea as well. Thanks for sharing 🥰
It doesn't go this well for everyone, believe me!
I do believe you 🥰
