Yea, it's a great alternative for people of average risk, which I'm not.

At the beginning of my last one, I confessed that I may not have drunk all of the awful prep liquid. The doc smiled at me and said “well, we’ll just have to see how full of **** you are.”
I didn’t realize we were being censored. **** just doesn’t have the same impact!

There are now pills you can take instead of the awful prep liquid. I used those for my last colonoscopy. Much less unpleasant, although they are horse-sized.
Doesn't sound a whole lot different than taking the prescription stuff, except that it might be cheaper. I hate Gatorade....

At my last, they told me I could drink gatorade but NOT THE RED GATORADE!! They had it all capitalized in my instructions.
I can only imagine why..... eeeeew
There are only four reasons to get a colonoscopy:
1. The drugs they give you for the scope itself 2. Getting it overwith 3. (God forbid) finding a problem early 4. Wearing your skinny jeans for a hot minute!
