Reply to "Fleet Enema before Sigmoidoscopy?"

The answer is yes Fleet enemas can be used to cleanse a J Pouch pre-scope, and I did use them in past years. They do the job, but they can be mildly irritating. More recently I have been emptying the Fleet bottle and substituting bottle or distilled water, with my GI doctor's knowledge and approval.
My standard prep is bottle of Mag Citrate the night before and Enema 2 hours before procedure. This is the highly standard prep.

Okay, that makes sense to me - I will ask to do the same. I don't need any medication encouraging a bowel movement! I simply need to clear it out..

Thank you!
