[quote=Anonymous]SuTab - DH and I’ve used it for our past 2 colonoscopies. My previous 3, I used Suprep liquid and it was like living in a nightmare. So my vote is SuTab. Some offices also give the option of a miralax prep these days. Ask your doctor about using Gas-X during prep. Once the day before and again the day of. It helps you feel much better and also helps for the actual scoping. Other than that, just accept that you’re going to poop a LOT. Use wet wipes. And a zinc cream for irritation. And drink up. Pre-hydrate for a few days ahead of time to avoid dehydration. On your clear liquid day(s), include warming liquids like broth drunk from a mug as well as apple juice which helps keep your blood sugar up. And, of course, ginger ale in case you feel nauseous (I’ve never felt that but DH does). And, overall, just remember that it’s not that bad in the end despite how it feels for those 2 days![/quote]
