We spoke to several of NorthShore University HealthSystem’s gastroenterologists on what they tell their patients to help make the prep process of a colonoscopy a little more tolerable.

colonoscopy

My dr. told me to follow a clear liquid diet all day and then at 4 pm drink a bottle of citrate magnesium and then 2 hrs later take 4 laxatives. The last time I had to do this I was up all night. Any suggestions?

I am scheduled to have a colonoscopy at 11:00 am tomorrow. Unfortunately I misunderstood my test prep instructions and accidentally ate chicken soup with shell pasta, chicken cubes, and carrots at 4:30 pm today (day before procedure) This was all I ate all day and I’ve been taking my Visicol tablets as directed and drinking only clear liquids. Did I totally botch my colonoscopy for tomorrow? I do not want to re-schedule. I hate this exam. Any suggestions or comments?
