I was concerned/confused about taking constipation tablets before laxatives ?!? Defeats the purpose ?
I had the scope up the rectum about 12 years ago and certainly had laxatives only. Was on the loo within 5 mins and half my body emptied out. Then back on loo frequently for next few hours. Then had to take 2nd pill 4 hrs later and almost nothing left but pure liquid/water out the bum.
So the day before prep wasn't fun along with virtual starving but worst bit was on the day when they pumped air up by backside to allow easy access for the scope. Kind of like electric bellows pumping air. My insides felt like an over blown hot water bottle. Very uncomfortable.
And then as mentioned the embarrassing wind. Not the greatest day and half of my life.
Hope yours is better than mine Ramy, As you said, it is certainly lots of squeaky bum time. 😆
