Considering we occasionally have to endure one of these for our testing, I thought I throw this out here.
Enjoy!!

| Quote: | | Traditionally, patients undergoing colonoscopy have faced long periods without food, followed by a bowel preparation consisting of seemingly unending (no pun intended) amounts of unpleasant tasting liquids, culminating in large volumes of liquid stool and a sore bottom. These regimens have led many a patient to report that the preparation was far worse than the procedure itself (1)! The long period without food not only makes compliance difficult for some patients, it also creates a level of anxiety that adds to the discomfort. Ultimately, the quality of the preparation is at risk, leading to poor results. Furthermore, not only will the unfortunate patient with an inadequately prepared colon need to go through the bowel cleansing process again, but valuable healthcare resources are wasted as well (2). The goal of this article is to provide guidance on dietary measures that may make the bowel preparation more tolerable and ultimately more successful. |
