Prep Day

To prepare for the colon procedure I had to follow a very strict regimen. I had to eat a limited 'low residue' diet and take some strong laxatives. The diet sheet included several things I don't normally eat, so had to go shopping specially for cornflakes and white bread. The laxative is taken twice, once in the morning and once mid afternoon, after which you don't eat until the morning of the procedure. By the end of the day it was apparent that I am resistant to laxatives! Not really good news. The procedure was fairly painless, but my colon wasn't clear enough for a full test. Saw some fascinating pictures of the inside of my colon! Results in a few weeks.
