Re: Colonsocopy cleanout always poor

Hi,

I have recently had my first two colonscopy. Both times were
unsuccessful because they say the clean out was not good enough.

The first I simply got a Fleet kit and followed the instructions. The
second time I added a day of soups (not clear), followed by a bottle
of Mag Citrate at bedtime, then a day of clear broths, and a gallon of
Golitely with four laxative pills as instructed

Nonetheless when morning arrived I was only passing a bit (less than a
cup) of brown water. At least 5 more times, cups(or less) of brown
water untill the colonscopy which was at 2 PM (again unsuccessful)

So.... I am again scheduled for another attempt. Thus my query.

What can I do to achieve a successful clean out?

If clean out is still not complete, is there some way the doctor can
irrigate to clear things up?

Two thoughts come to mind:

1) Presumably, the doctor has experience with this sort of problem and is the person to guide you. In addition, she presumably knows your history, which is helpful when giving medical advice.

2) There is a reason why you're not coming clean. Perhaps that is the reason for the colonoscopy in the first place. Again, your doctors are the right people to ask about this.
