In Canada its two pills the day before and LOTS of water. Maybe we've just not as full of ****.

I think the pre inspection juice would be fun to use on some wanker who won't keep out out your drinks. Here you go my friend, try this.

Try about two dozen Haribo sugar-free gummi bears. The sweetener in those is what makes your butthole turn into Mount St. Helens! You eat more than a dozen or so in one sitting, you'd best be near a commode and prepare for a nice, long time hearing your guts shoot out like the Old Faithful geyser. You'll have a three- or four-flusher by the the time you've emptied out. Wonderful entertainment value, too! Your guts will make sounds you thought only were heard in a sci-fi movie.

Also, a useful tool if you quit your job and want to get back at whomever...bunch of funny stories on Amazon about that. Look at the Haribo reviews for the sugar-free product. Worth the time and the laughs!

Hated that pre-prep for the procedure. Had a total of 3 since my first in 2007. Now when I go for my annual wellness check, I am always told I am over due for another. I politely tell them, no more!!! Enough is enough. Apparently, if one has some pollups at one of the views, and they are removed, then you are susceptible to the dreaded "C". No more I tell them and stop with that at every review. My shits are healthy and normal, no nothing at all!!! Yet they continue with the same o same o every appointment. Just another way to fleece more $$$'s out of ones insurance or what have you. Besides...It's damn invasive to begin with...cr8crshr/Bill

Pretty much the very definition of "invasive"...!

The prep is the worst part of the colonoscopy. Phone and charger and hope your legs don't fall asleep on the toilet.

I just had that prep a few weeks ago. I’ve been getting colonoscopies every other year for the past 12 years because my brother was diagnosed with colon cancer at a very young age. I’ve done just about every prep known to man. The pills were way easier: first dose of 12 pills with 16 ounces of water, finish water within 1/2 hour. Then after an hour another 16 ounces of water over the course of 30 minutes. Wait a half hour, then another 16 ounces of water over the course of 30 minutes. Then you have to repeat the second dose (same procedure as first) 6-8 hours before your exam. Much easier than having to drink what felt like gallons of nasty tasting prep mixed with water - Golytely! Terrible!!

And blot, don't wipe. Your turd cutter will thank you after going about 20-30 times.

And here's another much simpler way to get this done...Fecal Matter Occult Test. Way simpler and far less uncomfortable...cr8crshr/Bill

YUP!!! And baby wipes help too!

Does anyone have any additional details to share on bowel evacuation issues?

Is that been approved as a good way vs the colon scope? Recently heard that it was being studied.....

I did a cologaurd and that was the best. Just drop your **** in the mail!

Just use a dedicated pump sprayer and soapy water and pat dry.

Taco Bell and a drunken night doesn’t qualify for a pre cleaning?
