Reply to "How often are you meant to have a pouchoscopy?"

This is all new to me.. I always thought after having any type of pouch, you should not or cannot have an enema and should not take laxatives.


For the pouch to be scoped and for the doctor to get adequate pictures, it has to be cleansed of stool. This is accomplished by taking enemas. I personally think a warm water tap enema will do the job but for 20 years I was told to take a Fleet enema which is a bit harsher and cramps you out a bit. It leads to explosive diarrhea for about 2 hours but after that you are clear.

My pouchoscopy pics can be seen here:
