Well I’m having a delightful evening…

Shinamae ? and ??

I’ve had several diverticulitis attacks. One where I was taken to hospital, the second was just a paramedic at my house.
My problem is, when I get an attack I’m mindful of the night my ex husbands grandma was taken to hospital and came out with a stomper.
Having said that, me and my daughter sometimes have a laugh at some of the gory details of my attacks.
Sometimes situations are so bloody awful you have to laugh.

From experience the prep is far worse than the procedure.
Good luck for tomorrow.

Thank you so much, have had my feet up for a few hours and I’m binge watching rubbish TV whilst eating not very healthy food! ?

I suspect that should say a stoma.

Ahhhhhhh…. You could well be right

I’m really pleased that everything went well for you Shinamae. I had a colonoscopy on Friday and the preparation stuff made me feel very sick. I still feel a little nauseous now. Unfortunately my result wasn’t that good, so will need further treatment.

Sorry to hear that…..??

Thank you shinamae just dread the thought of having to drink that stuff again more than what comes next!!! I wonder if they still do the enemas like they used to do years ago. I think I would prefer it!

I do sympathise with you as that stuff is absolutely disgusting but needs must……????(I agree I think I would’ve preferred the enema, it’s certainly worth asking)

Gwyneth, I know there's more than one drink, as my friend couldn't keep the stuff down, so next time she was given a 'slightly better' tasting one.

Shinamae happy to hear your news ?

I have a friend who has these investigations fairly regularly and she gets an alternative to moviprep because she insists I think !
It’s worth a try. On my second one I had a drink that was at least just a glassful then a home enema, not too bad in fact. I’m going to ask for that for my next one in six months time.

Thank you all very much for your information re moviprep really helpful so I will definitely ask when the time comes about an alternative.

It depends on what part of your digestive system they are trying to look at whether you can have an enema or need to take the clean prep stuff. Thats what they told me when I had to take that vile lemon stuff.

I agree with you the preparation is awful, I made me retch. When I had mine a few years ago, in France, I was given as a matter of course, no choice, a general anesthetic.
