Reply to "Flex sig prep"

Scott FMember

I don’t do Magnesium Citrate, but clear liquids the day before and one or two tap water enemas before leaving the house have always worked well enough for me. You didn’t ask about sedation, but I strongly prefer skipping it.

One reason for excessive preps is that the exam isn’t really a flex sig (flexible sigmoidoscopy), since we no longer have sigmoid colons. It’s a pouchoscopy, often performed with a flexible sigmoidoscope. Often the doctor doesn’t have separate instructions for pouchoscopy and they use the flex sig instructions instead.
