Bowel prep

Ive got to do low fiber diet for 3 days ready for bowel prep on the 7th (my birthday hahaha oh fun times. I hope evwryone is as well as they can be

  1. Ugh, , that bowel prep is such a pain, and how annoying that it's also on your birthday. Which, now that I'm looking at the date, I see was on Friday! Happy Birthday! I hope you were able to do something to enjoy your day. How is the prep going? Is this prep for a colonoscopy? And will you be having the procedure soon? Thinking of you! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)

    1. Hi well the colonoscopy didnt go to plan as they wanted to try move the prolapse. so needed to be asleep but the drugs they wanted to give me they couldnt as my heart rated dropped. so i had it done with gas and air did i cry yes it was so painful but ican confirm i most definitely need a op. But on a good note my ibd has calmed down

      1. oh dear that sounds like an incredibly difficult and painful procedure! I am so sorry you were in so much pain. Thank goodness your IBD has since calmed down, but what an ordeal to have to go through. It sounds like the doctor confirmed that you need an operation? Is this for the prolapse that you mentioned? -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
