Reply to "Prep for lower GI"

Most facilities give out “one size fits all” instructions and it’s on you to communicate with your Doctor’s office to tailor the instructions so as to be suitable for a J Pouch. To answer your question- yes it sounds excessive, I was directed to do a half of one bottle and a Fleet enema.

 On the other hand having sat sober in a recovery room you wouldn’t believe the number of patients that cheat on these instructions resulting in bad tests and being ordered to retest because they were not clear. I have personally overheard patients being spoken to in the very busy Yale scope recovery room about this....

If you do the two bottles, I suggest stocking up on some reading materials and books in your toilet. Put a toilet stand near the commode with books on it. I would suggest War and Peace by Tolstoy- could be a good opportunity to catch up on reading some of the classics!
