Well today it the day I start my colon cleanse. Ughh, I am not in a good way. I have been eating liquids since all day yesterday actually. I figured I would have less to come out. Well now my bladder is already irritated( I have Interstitial cystitis). I think it may be from the jello I am eating, but not sure. I am not going to eat anymore jello at all. I am just going to drink water from here on out. That and maybe some chicken broth.
I am doing the suprep prep. It says to do it a 5 pm and again at like 1 am 6 hours before my procedure. I talked to a lady I know who also has IC bladder and she also works in a GI lab. She said to start it way earlier that what they say. She said the only reason they have people start it so late is that in some studies it showed it cleaned the bowel better, but she said it does not matter. She said you need more time to empty out than just those hours. Especially with me being a person with IC, she said I have to drink that last part and all the water early so my bladder empties before I leave the house too as all that water is going to make me have to pee a lot. I also talked to my Mother in law and she said the same thing. She said her friend had used the suprep too and she followed the instructions and drank it at like 6 hours before her procedure and she pooped herself in the car on the way to the hospital and at the hospital! No, that is NOT an option for me with the whole bladder infection issues. I am starting my first round at 2 pm. and then see how it goes. Then if I am still pooping and not clear, I am taking the other dose at like 8 pm. That way I have all night to clear out. I am just praying that my bladder does not get any worse than it is and that all the diarrhea does not cause a nasty UTI again!
Well, wish me luck everyone! I am praying to make it through this test with not too many afteraffects and hopefully get some answers.
