Thursday I will be going in for a capsule endoscopy for unexplained abdominal pain. I received a call from the GI lab informing me that I would have to do a bowel prep the day before (Colyte). I've had a capsule endoscopy performed before my colon was removed and the bowel prep was standard, but I'm questioning whether or not I should have to do this with no colon. I've had pouchoscopy's and upper endoscopy's performed since my colectomy and just did clear liquids the day before and fasting w/ fleet enemas the day of. Has anyone else had to do a bowel prep with a j pouch?
