Bowel Preparation
"I&#039;m 28 in the UK
I&#039;m pretty sure I had the orange version of this prep before and it was a breeze, but taking the plain version for a colonoscopy tomorrow, I&#039;m in a panic.
It&#039;s been 5 hours and I still haven&#039;t finished the 1st litre because I can&#039;t keep it down if I drink it any faster. Even after trying to mask the taste by drinking other drinks. What I have had so far also hasn&#039;t worked except for some passing wind and abdominal pain. Some dehydration, too. I&#039;ve drunk a lot more than the recommended 500ml of extra fluids.
I&#039;m also concerned that I shouldn&#039;t have been given it due to me being referred for heavy bleeding and pain after bowel movements. I had a movement earlier and bled considerably. The prospect of passing out the rest is frightening."
