Help! Colonoscopy prep went a foul!

I was taking the second dose of colon prep, and I had got it all down, along with 2 16oz glasses of water, I finished at 4am, then it all reversed course! My carpet is ruined...


I compinsated the missed liquid with two Reed's Ginger Brews...


wish me luck, hopefully they will not turn me away.

Explain to them that it went the other direction at high speed, and you did your best with what you could, and they cannot turn you away. My mom had one despite having fecal matter in her colon some years ago. They "rinsed" her (gross, sorry). They can cope. Won't be their first rodeo. Even Dr. Oz messed up his prep and ate solid food and got busted, apparently. Rooting for yoU!

Hoping the procedure goes as scheduled. No one wants to do all of that again.

Oh Jon I am sorry that happened to you. I had the same problem but they were still able to clean me out enough to do the procedure. I hope it goes well.

Everything worked out, no problems with the procedure, just woke up after my 4 hour nap. We went out and had pancakes on the way home, then I started babbling incherently on the drive back, but feel better now...

Funny, I was just reading the instructions, i was supposed to start eating slowly, so maybe a short stack of pancakes, two eggs and hashbrowns was a little much? Also recommending high fiber low fat diet, oops...

Lol Jon I could only eat crackers and juice after mine. I think your full blown meal is going to be a full blown sit on the pot. I hope you feel much better soon.

Actually it settled quite nicely, funny how it didn't take but 20 minutes to break the diatary restrictions! My friend and driver should have listend to the instructions, and not let me order a full blown breakfast! But I am glad he didn't...

After my colonoscopy I pretty much inhaled a huge restaurant meal and was fine. I was starving lol, I'm one of those people who needs to eat every couple hours. Glad everything went well

I'm like you, must eat! Everything settled fine with my gut. Now the long task of building the probiotics back up, so I don't get candida again.
The delayed reaction to the Anastasia was kind of strange, I found the resturant an my iPad, I ordered my breakfast, tipped and added correctly (I hope) and then on the ride home became delirious, babbling incorently.

Colon prep = nightmare. The many nights I spent on the toilet contemplating my life.

They just found some internal hemorrhoids, advising more fiber and less fats... I have to get a stool test once a year... (oh joy). Next one will be in 10 years!

    I'm alive, I'm sleeping like a rock, and for some reason I wanted cherry juice so that seems to be helping. (??? Weirdo that I am.)***Infamous therapies over history:1. The Attic. The madwoman in the attic is a motif in literature going waaaaaay back: the nutty female relative is locked in the attic.

    Welcome to the Perseid meteor showers, the "biggies" usually every year. (The Leonids beat 'em one year IMHO).AND today much of the northern hemisphere will see 5 to 99% solar eclipse. How cool is that? Your best bet is to be in the UK or norhtern Spain, where totality is excellent before sundown. Me, I'll get a super duper tiny itty bitty slice of it, so little that it won't be noticeable. New...
