Water soluble contrast enema

[Misty-Eyed]

Hi guys,

Has anyone ever had one of these or know much about them? I have to have one in January but I was expecting a barium enema so this has caught me off guard a little.

It would be nice to know what to expect or how similar it is to the barium enema.

Quick search came up with this...

Thanks for these but I've already seen them.

Was just more interesting about how similar they are to using the barium and the prep in particular.

All the info the hospital gave me was the time and place and 'to bring a dressing gown'. No info about prep or anything :/

Think I need to call them but was curious if anyone else had had one.
