Reply to "Flex sig prep"

i get flex sigs. i did not have a total colectomy as a patient who has familial polyposis syndrome.



my prep is  a small bottle of miralax 236 or 238 grams mixed in 64 oz of water (i dont drink electrolyte drinks of any kind, and im a diabetic type 2, so i dont do anything drink wise that will increase my blood sugar/glucose)

i have 6 to 8 inches of sigmoid in me and my jpouch is up top the anastomosis site not what is seen normally with a jpouch patient who has gone full an dtotal colectomy.



i have clear liquids from wake up through out the afternoon until about 430 pm the evening/day/pm prior to the early morning - next day flex sigmoidoscopy.



this works for me every time and ive never failed at my prep regimine, im always 100% cleaned out.

my scopes arent pouchoscopies since there is a simoid section of colon in me.  on october 7th my gi  in addition to my scheduled flex sig that morning completed an ileo-oscopy procedure on me as well.



i agree with ct and scott the gi doctors relay/dish out standard protocol instructions to patients that arent specific to the uncoloned/bowel resected and  so the prep instructions given are often over kill instructions



good luck with your clean out/scope!
