Bowel prep tips anyone?

I only had to take 3/4 of the Suprep - I was running clean after the first half.

DianaCox, did you have any Abdominal distension with Suprep? I still have some stomach issues although they are controled with daily Zegerid and Pepcid.

Well, nothing that makes you shit explosive watery diarrhea every 10 minutes is going to be a little uncomfy, but I don't recall anything lasting past the pooping phase.

Thanks, I was hoping there wouldn't be painful gas that lasts for hours.......watery diarrhea is what I am lookng for!

Well I decided to move on to another Dr. and this time I got an appointment with him in his office (instead of just meeting him with the hose in his hand! I am going to a bigger city and a bigger hospital and I printed out what preps have failed and a good image of our DS to take with me to the appointment that is the 20th of this month.
I did a lot of research in looking for a new Dr and this practice says they specialize if patients who have had failed bowel preps, we'll see!

I haven't. I have to get mine done every 3 years right now, so I'm up again next year, and it will be my first one since the DS.

Make sure you start earlier than your gastroenterologist suggests because our system is much like cleaning peanut butter out of a straw now.

interesting and useful for DSers

for just a sleeve I was assuming there was no difference, but it is just an assumption

Sleevers typically don’t eat as much fat as DSers so they shouldn’t be as full of peanut butter in that straw.

Just had my Pokeman last week. I stopped eating 12 hours earlier than normies. I drank 1 and half gallons of prep (1/2 gallon more than normies). I was running clear, then a bit cloudy, then clear again 3 hours before the procedure. At the end of the day he rated my prep "fair" and said I would need to repeat in 5 years, instead of 10. He was able to see everything except, I guess, the fine lining.

I did stop iron and went on a low fiber diet 5 days before procedure. Not sure what the issue was. But at least he had good depth perception.
