After my last “cleanse”, I vowed NEVER AGAIN ! I’m 74, and if I get colon cancer, I want to be kept mostly pain-free, and I’ll go when it’s my time to catch Heaven’s Bus. I helped my Dad with cleanses until he was 85, and that’s when he made the same decision.
a friend of mine decided to follow the directions HIS way. mixed up the solution about two hours before heading to his appointment and drank it down. the clinic was NOT pleased and he had to reschedule. AND he had a very very interesting day. js
I have prostate cancer, had lot’s of radiation treatments. The radiation caused skin damage, which caused infections. Had to have emergency surgery because of one of the infections, which would not heal because of the skin damage. Had several surgeries to try to close the open wound. Every surgery had to do a colonoscopy prep. The last surgery, which fixed my open wound, did the prep, only to have the surgery canceled because the anesthesiologist had to go to an emergency heart surgery. Had to do the prep AGAIN 6 days later. Was such a pain in the *.
I don’t remember having nurses and a doctor wait for me to fart. Maybe I did it while I was still out cold, or my doctor doesn’t require it. It certainly happened that evening at home after the test – I had forgotten about that side effect. I consider a colonoscopy to be a minor pain in the butt, and also a chance for a very good nap. I have had much worse things done to me that hurt a lot more. Things like nerve conduction tests. I would take two colonoscopies a week over those, but they don’t bother some people much at all. Plus, no nap!

They pump you full of gas to expand your colon. The they won’t let you leave until you fart. All the nurses cheer for you when you finally let one.
