One doctor not at Mayo said I needed a colonoscopy every 6 months, then 1x year because I grow a forest of polyps. thankfully, I had one last year and removed 13-15 polyps, several quite large, and almost all were the precancerous adenomas. So beginning early is a great answer for that problem. I do everything by the book but still don't do it well. My colon is slow and I don't get it clean enough apparently. Jump to this and all…Ain't this fun! One of my least favorite tests, not the procedure but the prep. I’ve also heard it’s best to avoid red and grape jello as it can interfere with test, so I have to ask, what’s your favorite, green or orange Jello? It’s also recommended to eat less 2 days before and have a day of liquid diet. The first one is from Mayo Clinic regarding splitting the prep time. So it doesn’t hurt to begin a couple hours earlier as long as you complete the process. The ultimate goal is to get the colon as clean as possible.
That way it’s not all at once, making it easier on the body and patient. Some doctors are actually making changes in the way they prescribe the prep and having patients split the time. Hi I did a little research and found there are a lot of other people wondering the same thing! You’re all just so eager to get this started huh? Just kidding! I know all too well the volume of liquid to get down and not enough will power to make it happen! 😉
