I'm actually a bit afraid of having a colonoscopy. Every time in the past that I've had to take a laxative, I've fainted or nearly fainted when the laxative kicks in. I get super woosy and the entire world just collapses in and I get super sweaty and then faint.
Anyone else have this experience?
Or, I could ask my doctor.
Vasovagal reaction? They mentioned some folks have that in the BS article.

Ugh I had to have a colonoscopy when I was 22 to test for crohn's (I don't have it! Woo!). I was not allowed jello or popsicles, just clear beverages and the gut-blaster liquid. I got to pick a flavor. Do not pick a flavor that you like- pick a flavor that you can drink a gallon of without ralphing. I was advised against cherry/berry flavors. I went with lemon-lime. I drank a lot of diet sprite and water.
I wasn't actually able to get all of the gut-blaster down. I finished maybe 85% of the container? It was so miserable. I felt like Dumbledore drinking from the basin with the horcrux.
The actual bathroom time wasn't that bad. Pooping liquid (not diarrhea.. just.. like pooping water) feels very weird, but not painful. Keep your bathroom access high. My guts gave me ample warning that it was time to gut-blast. "Yo *gurrrrgleee* It's time *grrrrrrruugggggg*" There was no danger of accidental poo-splosion. Keep some nice plush toilet paper on hand. Think absorbent.0 -
I am not 100% sure, but are you allowed broth? If so, my reccomendation is to sautee moirepox as if you are going to make soup and add water to make a broth and then strain out the veggies. It it will significantly less sodium than anything store bought.0

I am 30 years old and I have IBS and I'm prone to colon polyps. So every 5 years I have to have a colonoscopy. I drink warm clear broth when I get hungry. It seems to take the edge off.
The first time I couldn't keep the prep down so they had me take laxatives and drink a TON of water. Luckily, it worked.0 -

OHC -- those are my symptoms nearly exactly. Thank you for that link and I will be sure to discuss this with my doctor.0 -

Vasovagal is the medical term for a faint isn't it?0 -
Been there done that. blech. When doing the "prep" I added crystal light lemonade. It helped the "medicine go down". By about 1/3 of the way through the bottle I just gave up and stayed in the loo.0

However, it involved vomiting so hard it came out my nose (twice) and having burning acid squirt violently from my *kitten* for two FULL days (let's just say there was blood despite patting and wipes). There were only five said episodes on day three and the reprieve was enough to make me want to drop to my knees screaming "Hallelujah!"
TL;DR Gastroenteritis is NOT recommended.

Vasovagal is the medical term for a faint isn't it?
Not exactly. You can faint without a vasovagal reaction. A vasovagal reaction is simply an irritation or stimulation of the vagus nerve which can cause a host of symptoms, including syncope (the medical term for fainting).0 -
Thanks elphie
I am wondering if the OP has a tablet and we are going to get a running ('scuse the pun) commentary
I do hope not0 -

No problem.
Interesting fact: vasovagal reactions are the reason we find many cardiac arrest patients on the toilet. Straining can trigger the response.

No..it's not just a fart. Okay, I'm laughing as I type this.
Went through the same thing in June. I stayed within 5 feet of the toilet.
I felt so light and empty after the procedure.
In reality...it wasn't nearly as horrible as I'd been led to believe.0 -
Lol the empty kind you put your own in at home. Wish I could post pics from my phone.
