Colonoscopy prep

Has anyone used Klean prep before colonoscopy. Tomorrow is prep day 😟 So worried

Hi Ella, I don't know about it but hope it goes well.

I called Drs today and receptionist said results are back and dr has seen them but he hasn't rung me. Scared but I'm thinking if it was bad he would of called me asap x

Similar sort of ingredients to MoviPrep. On each of my colonoscopies I have had something different but the end result is much the same! Different hospitals and consultants have different preferences. Make sure you have some barrier creams or vaseline and I found wet wipes very helpful. If you can stop it getting sore rather than treating it when it does its better. So i use the vaseline and wet wipes each time, irrespective of whether it was sore or not. With barrier creams a little can be as (or more) effective than a lot. Good luck! The clear out is a real bore but its not as bad as gastro-enteritis!

I really hope all is ok but I think dr would've called if it was bad. Big good luck.

Tks for the advice! I'm already going to the loo constantly with all the anxiety so hoping il already be quite empty. Can't wait for it to be over as I feel pukey constantly with the stress of it all

Thanks, let me know how it all goes. Good luck x

Tks xxxx will speak to u from the loo tomorrow 😳😱😒

It didn't taste very appetising, but not sick making. I used a kitchen timer so i spread it over the hour they recomendended, and added som e lemon squash to change the taste a bit. Quite worried that I didnt have an explosive immediate result, but I had been on a diet previously. Didnt get any urgent calls to the toilet, and the liquid was going straight through after the second dose. It did work very well though, all was shiney and sparkling inside!

Haha I hope I'm shiny and sparkly too.. 1.5 hours till I start. Will have my piece of toast which they said I'm allowed. Hopefully won't b that bad for me too

Hay how's it going? I still haven't been called 😳x

Spent an hour on the loo but seems to have calmed down for now. Let's hope it remains this way. Hope u hear from the Drs soon xx

That's good, what time is your app tomorrow?

Dr just rung me, he said its all benign. I would like a letter confirming this but the hospital said they don't do that. I double checked with dr that the polyp was ok and he said yes all biopsies were benign. So I'll take his word for it!!!😆xx

Yeyyyyy I'm so so happy for u! Go celebrate now 😄😄

I need to b in the hospital at 7 am but it might take hours till I actually get to do it. Hope il be one of the first so I can get it over and done with. I seem to have calmed down with the loo. Had a bad hour and now nothing. Have to take another 2 sachets this evening. Hope I remain this way .... Just abit tired and getting hungry .

Yes I can finally focus on things now. I have a months holiday with my little girl in June to Spain so now I can think of that again!

Good luck for tomorrow and I will be thinking of you xx

Thanks. What fun u can look forward to a great time with her. If all goes well planning to take my little boy to legoland but I'm scared to book flights just in case things don't go wel tomorrow. Hopefully can come book them tomorrow.

I know exactly what you mean. I haven't thought of anything in the last 6 weeks apart from this. It's been awful, you will be just fine too x 😊

Really hope so. I want my kids to have a normal childhood not a difficult one cos of me.

Been to the loo a few more times now. Nothing awful though! It's 28 degrees outside and I'm wearing 3 layers so I'm guessing my blood pressure is going down.

28 degrees, so jealous!!! Yes I got cold too and the not eating doesn't help. That for me was the worst bit, nearly 30 hours with no food!!!😡😂X

Prob same amount of time and I feel like anything in sight .... And food I normally don't crave for. Hope I won't b up all night in the loo. Have to start next sachet in an hour and still going from the previous 2 sachets 😳

Mine usually stops about 10pm ish but you may have a couple of short bouts in the morning. It always seems miraculously to stop by the time of the test.
