#bowel prep

[decaf-teas]

I have a combo colonoscopy and endoscopy tomorrow so I’m on a clear liquid diet today and lemme tell you, nothing makes you hungrier than not being allowed to eat!!! I’m off work today on account of being glued to the toilet from 5:00 onwards, and also because I’d probably physically murder someone by the end of my shift — the problem is that I have nothing to distract myself from the fact that there is food in this house and I can’t eat it!!!! But I’m glad to do it because it means that I might finally get some answers to my health problems. And the office lady has been super nice! And it’s less than 24 hours until I’m allowed to eat again! So all in all not terrible! OH YEAH I also got Sutab instead of the Hell Jug of prep, so I’m super grateful for that. Highly recommend if you’re getting a colonoscopy.

I also want to tell you that they always put apple juice on the approved list of clear liquids but it doesn’t have to be apple juice! I’m slamming back a jug of white cranberry and peach juice. If you can read the newspaper through it, it doesn’t matter if it’s a different flavor than apple. Get things you know you’ll like!

Final note: you’re allowed to eat jello that is clear and the correct color, and you should definitely stock up. It makes you feel like you’re eating something.

For those stuck on a clear liquid diet due to gastroparesis, bowel or surgery prep, or some other medical reason here are some fun ways to spice up cartoned broth!

- chicken broth with lemon juice, garlic powder and ginger powder

- beef broth with garlic powder and rice vinegar

- unsalted bone broth with soy sauce and garlic and onion powder

-chicken broth with curry paste and maple syrup

I also like to blend up herbs with broth and then strain them out in the end. These combos are good:

- any broth with fish sauce, lime juice, cilantro, basil, and green onion

-chicken broth with lime juice and parsley

If you like spice, hot sauce is always a good addition to all of these!

Why do I dislike giving my patient GoLYTELY?

Okay so i have my colonoscopy tomorrow and i’ve started my bowel prep today.

it’s about 2 hours after my second sachet of the laxative drink and i still haven’t had any bowel movements.

Is this as weird as i think it is or a is it normal?!?

Oh my gosh, 5L of lax?? That sounds so intense! What was the pill option?

Anyway, you can definitely still stomach it. This about how the more you drink the faster it'll all come out of you and the better you'll feel! ;)

It is way too much. The pills are 24 pills over 24 hours but less effective and more people need to redo prep.

I'm just shy of the 2L and I had to take a break since I threw up a little. I'm too focused on the nausea to enjoy it, but there's definitely pressure building and some light cramping through my guts. I've had 1 false alarm but so far nothing.

In just another hour I need to start on another liter. I don't think I can keep more down. I might need to call the office's after hours line.

I started answering this and had to run to the bathroom. I think everything I drank left me at once. It actually felt really relieving to feel it all pour out. There was almost no cramping and it was very calm for it being entirely liquid. Going relieved the nausea but I really don't want to drink more.

What to Eat Before a Colonoscopy: Complete Preparation Checklist

Colonoscopy preparation involves a carefully planned diet and bowel cleansing process. Patients should begin by switching to low-residue foods a few days before the exam to reduce digestive workload. As the procedure approaches, a strict clear liquid diet becomes necessary to keep the intestines clean. Doctors prescribe laxatives or bowel prep solutions that flush out the digestive tract thoroughly and completely. This step is crucial because even small amounts of residue can interfere with the examination. Following instructions correctly improves diagnostic accuracy and helps detect conditions like colorectal cancer and other digestive disorders at an early and treatable stage.
