There is an alternative that the docs don't tell you about. It's a three day clear liquid diet cleanse. It's what they used to use back in the day. If you ask for the old protocol they'll probably let you use it.

Sooner - Had to larf at the 'virginity' bit, too funny. Now, mine you tell him that bit, and that he'd better go easy. Speak to you later - prob tomorrow, after it's all over. Mind you after my 'first' time, I went home, cleaned out a 5 acre paddock then put up the electric fencing, and strimmed around the uprights. Was out working all evening. Good therapy - but don't fancy that in the cooooold weather.
Go well Remember your gut will be a tad tender afterwards and will take about a week to normalise.

Good luck Sooner! Hope all goes well and you don't feel too violated afterwards. My Dad woke up in the middle of his colonoscopy. I can't even imagine! When I had mine, I didn't even want to see the doctor before-hand because I was too em-bare-assed (ha!) about what he was about to do, and where he was about to do it!

If you've had a gutful of the belly problems, maybe you'll get to the bottom of it by haviing this done...?  (sorry - couldn't help myself!) Being a veteran of the bottom-ender (mum died early of bowel cancer) I can tell you the prep *is* the worst bit..... Make sure they give you souvenir pics as a memento of your journey!

Last time, (my third) I think I began to develop a taste for that Moviprep and Gatorade combo
I have a new idea if they want me to do it again- what if the night before I swallow a marble or two? Or some little plastic army men?
Should make for an interesting diagnosis!
