I opted for the osmoprep pills rather than drink the dreaded solution. I just had to take 4 pills every 15 minutes with 8 ounces of water. You do this for an hour, so you take 20 pills in an hour. Then the morning of the procedure you take the rest of the pills until they are gone. They did not make me feel sick or hurt my stomach.
Did you get extremely nauseous as a side effect from the prep stuff you had to drink? or does it depend on the person? Im having a colonoscopy in october and Im scared to death of vomiting from that crap..Thanks!
For starters, I'm so glad ur going in to get checked. The soluion made me a little sick but nothing major. Everyone is different but I don't think you'll puke...good luck
I didn't get sick from the prep..One thing that helped was drinking it fast like a shot...get it down...tastes like water with a ton of salt..yuck! It took appx 2 hrs for it to work on me...but when it did, it did! It does depend on the person how they feel. Pls dont be nervous..this test could potentially save your life :)
I'm very nervous for my colonoscopy on Thursday (I'm 21 and have digestive problems, so they're checking for Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis). Thanks for a very informative video. I do have a question, because in your video you said you experienced discomfort- but other people say they don't even remember the procedure or feel anything. Is that because you had a different medication?
let me start off by saying, I wish you lots of luck and hope your colonoscopy comes back clear :) I was given Fentanyl and another medication. It knocked me down pretty good, but during the procedure I felt the air which caused cramping. They did give me a little more medicine which eventually knocked me out but I was able to stay awake through most of the procedure even watching them perform a polyectomy! Please let me know how it turns out for you!
Bless your heart. I am so glad that there wasn't any cancerous lesions. I am getting my first colon scope this Wednesday the 24th. I'm scared. I have diverticulosis. Thankyou for this informative vid. hugs, Chris
My dr scared me half to death when he told me NOT to put crystal light in the go-lightly...I sure wish I hadn't listened..having chasers didn't help much.
Everyone should see and know this. And everyone who watches the video should read the book "The China Study" and Food Revolution this will answers a lot of questions in regards to cancer. Both of these books will blow your mind!!
so glad all was well Kimberley....good luck god bless :)

Thanks for the video. I'm going in, in a couple of days. I'm also scared as Hell.
For your IBS, try peppermint gel caps. They really, really help. Just follow the directions on the bottle.

my husband had a colonoscopy today and the doctor removed 5 polyps........" IS that really bad?

Polyps are tricky. Some GI doctors will tell u they found polyps that
looked cancerous. Others just say, "We'll send them off for a biopsy
and let you know your results in 2 weeks!" Does he have IBS? Bowel issues?
Please keep me informed! I've got my fingers crossed!!!
