Colonoscopy. Oh joy.

Sat waiting to be done. Did not like the current bowel prep, preferred Picolax. But apparently that's harsh on the kidneys. Can't see how drinking two litres of massive electrolyte imbalance is any better, and is incredibly sickly to boot.
Fun way to spend a Tuesday morning.

I feel your joy

Been there, got the T shirt - hope all's OK for you.

My third, I think.

The worst but is the air they pump into you. I was in agony for about two hours until I realised this almighty fart.

Changed from air to CO2, apparently reduces that effect somewhat.

Were I a bum doctor (I think they have a more technical term) then I would be sore tempted to use helium just once for that authentic squeaky bum comedy moment.

I had one last year and the bowel prep was very unpleasant . The procedure itself was rather epic as the explored not just the bowel but the whole large intestine !

The worst bit in my experience is the prep - the best bit is the toast and cup of tea afterwards.

I did enjoy watching my innards on the super size TV !! Fascinating

My recollection, dimly, under the heavy sedation was thinking that my buddy Prof Mortensen seemed more like a Dyno-Rod operative than an eminent member of the medical profession

can you save it to blow up your tyres ?

Hope all goes well.
Not had one myself, but I've had several equally scary cystoscopy's.

If you've got time, go search for the Picolax thread on Singletrackworld.com it's epic.

My brother is due 'something' as he's been getting blood in his poop. He does get IBS and is under a huge amount of stress (dentist). The NHS, in his case, have been useless.

Irritable brother syndrome?

Handy if you need to repair a puncture on the ride home.
