Colonoscopy with Ileostomy

Hi guys

Anne is due to have this procedure in February. She is quite nervous. Any idea what preparation she requires as she has no output from the bottom? What is it like? 

Thank you

  • Hi thank you for your post.

    The colostomy association has a leaflet called “colonoscopy through a stoma, a patient’s perspective”  This goes into a lot of detail about the bowel preparation prior to the colonoscopy and what to expect during and after the procedure. You can download it here.

    I hope the leaflet helps answer your questions. If you need any further information please do get back to us.

    Best wishes
