Hahaha...where I live in California, retirement age is much later. It’s expensive. The good thing is we bought our house 25 years ago and the value is higher, so I think of it like an ATM 😁 I’m a...
Me too. And that’s why I avoided them. But I was diagnosed with crohns via CT scan and colonoscopy was recommended for follow up. Although doc saw deformed cecum and ulcerated ileocecal valve, he...
I’m supposed to get an endoscopy. Doc said they use same meds as colonoscopy. I was awake and felt it even with the versed and fentanyl. What sedation have you all used? Mild or anesthesia? I’m very...
Oh that’s good to hear! Sometimes reading things online add unnecessary worry....
I am getting an MRE in a few hours. Kaiser website didn’t have many instruction about prep. Only don’t take anything by mouth after midnight. Looking online, it says 4 hours before test. I’m thankful...
I got the colonoscopy a few days ago. They took biopsies from the iliocecal valve...couldn’t make it into the terminal ilium. They also took from other parts of intestine, though only the valve area...

Tomorrow I get my first colonoscopy. It’s a Dulcolax/Miralax/gas-x/magnesium citrate combo. I’ve read a lot of old things on here. My question is, has anyone ever tried just taking the Miralax,...
Even though I’m scared of the cramps that might occur with the Dulcolax I will take it. I’m only going to take one. The one capful of Miralax and milk of magnesia hasn’t produced anything but a...
Thank you for sharing your advice and experience. Taking it earlier and with lots of water sounds like a great suggestion. I hope I’ll be all cleared out too. I guess you didn’t have to drink the...
I didn’t mean to type Oreos, I meant any other better preps. Share your thoughts?...
I’m supposed to take 2 Dulcolax, then drink 7 servings of Miralax with Gatorade at night then drink the same in the morning then drink 10 oz magnesium citrate. I think this is overkill. Also my...
