MoviPrep

[Crohn's Mom]

Does anyone know a reason why you're only supposed to drink a little bit at a time, every fifteen minutes with this stuff??

I'd rather just chug it all and get it over with, but I don't want to screw things up and have to do it over again if I did.

Anyone have experience with this stuff? (it's gross ! :lol

:stinks:
Because you will have an atomic bomb go off in your bowels. The Dr's think SMALL atomic explosions are perhaps better for our health. What do they know!? Seriously....go sloooowwwwwwllllllyyyyyy.

And take a good book, the computer or cell phone, and a 9 pack of toilet rolls.

Do NOT attempt a normal day or evening....

:hug:

hahaha !! Point taken and heard !!

I have been charging my phone all day LOL
Toilet paper stocked !

I havent' really eaten in a couple of days due to pain, so I'm hoping this evening won't be as bad as I think it is ! LOL

Oh, that will help you alot if you havent eaten. But I'm terribly sorry about the pain luv. Moviprep wont help with that I'm afraid.

I do try to look on the bright side with the prep. It's like getting dermabrasion and and a wax job for the colon. But they dont feel nice while it's happening!

I hope they can sort what's ailing you.
:hug:

hey

I had a colonoscopy just the other week, and the moviprep was by far worse than the actual thing! I hated it, and i couldn't bring myself to drink any for a long time before i was supposed to. I ended up drinking most of it continuously for an hour, and i was concerned as to whether it would do the trick.. but you definately know when it does work lol. And everything was fine in the morning although i did have to stay up til 2am drinking it lol.

So yeah, i don't think it will make much of a difference, so long as you finish it in good time. good luck!

Let me just say this.... I'm only 2 glasses into this stuff (I'm supposed to drink a total of 8) and I can't stay off the porcelene throne long enough to even pour the next glass! LOL. I think this may be record timing for this to work!
Good lord it's gonna be a long, long evening!:stinks:

Hope you're doing ok over there. If you couldnt get through 8 glasses, who could blame you!

Fingers crossed for you with the scope!
