Cat, no biopsies were taken. Now that you say that, I wish they had taken some biopsies - but too late now, and I guess the GI thought it wasn't necessary. And I'm not doing that again to get biopsies! Two years ago I had some taken of my sigmoid colon, and those came out normal. Dr thinks I...

I'm alive! ;) Prep was sufficient, thank goodness. No crohns, UC, or polyps. Not any closer to figuring out what's causing the fissures... Cat, I'm glad you got to get a refill! I bet you can breathe a little easier now. Hopefully the entocort will put you back on the path to remission

Oops, spoke too soon. Second half of the dosage at 2am made me pretty sick, so I didn't have the entire (small) dosage, probably about only half of it. I think I'm okay though, I was going mostly clear with some flecks/sediment at the bottom of the toilet. This morning it was mostly yellow with...

Checking in! I haven't tried any other preps as this is my first colonoscopy, but this prep has been a BREEZE! I still have a second dose to take at 2am, but I could've went about my day 100% normally. It didn't taste great, but I feel just fine, and no urgent needs to run to the bathroom. I had...

I am hungry, though... :(

Back! I took the Prepopik at 4pm here. I know it tastes eons better than other preps, but compared to.. regular drinks.. it does not taste good. It was sickly sweet and sour, almost syrupy, and fizzy. I didn't drink it all at once, but instead drank it over a 10 minute period. I felt a tiny...

Cat, sorry to hear you're having a rough few days. It must be so daunting to be climbing an uphill battle, only to have a flare and feel like you have to start all over again. Is there anyone else that can prescribe Entocort for you, a primary physician perhaps? I don't know too much about the...

I figured I'd document my experience here, if anyone in the future wants a play-by-play. I know I really appreciated these, as I am a bundle of nerves! I am 24, F, suffering from anal fissures and am also lactose intolerant and hypoglycemic (so a liquid diet was a little frightening). I...

I am *four* hours away and getting a little nervous! I'm having a staring contest with the prep box right now... Hoping everyone is doing well :)

Gotumtum, the more I read the prep 'horror stories' online, the more scared I get! It seems vomiting seems to be very common online, but I need to remember that usually only the best and worst cases are talked about. T-minus 7 hours for me! I'm already looking forward to being knocked out ;) I'm...

Cat, thank you for your kind words. I am planning on taking a zofran about 30 minutes, as you said, before I do my prep. I am worried that BEING so worried will make me nauseous regardless! I've been fretting for quite some time. I don't drink much water at all - if I don't try, I hardly even...

Gotumtum, great that yours went well! I am slightly jealous you are all done now ;) I'm also a little more nervous now to hear you got sick twice with your prep.. my biggest fear! But I'm less than 24 hours away from my prep, so no turning back now. Today, I only had clear liquids as I decided...

hi all! not too familiar with this forum, but mind if I pop in? :) I am 24, female. I've been to what seems like a million, but really about 15 different doctors and GIs with no idea what's wrong with me! I don't have what is common on this site (I think), but almost constant, recurring anal...

Well it's nice to know you survived your previous :) Any tips or experiences? Mines 11th! Looking for prep buddies for Thursday!

I have mine on Friday and also need a buddy! Too bad yours was earlier but you're all done now! Please give me a play by play :)

Did you have cramping or nausea? Thanks for your kind words :)

I think it is called prepopik - two sachets of powder. My GI suggested it due to the lower volume compared to other preps. She also kindly gave me ten zofran 4mg pills in case I need it. But I am still so so scared and I read sometimes prepopik doesn't even work to fully clean! I'm already...

I have my first colonoscopy scheduled this Friday and I am absolutely terrified. Not so much of the actual procedure (although that does worry me too) but of the prep. I have emetophobia and I can't imagine getting sick and drinking on an empty stomach and ugh... And what if it doesn't even work...
