I was worried aswell about having an accident on the way. I had a morning appointment so drank both my laxative drinks the evening before. I pooed most of it out in the evening. Then slept and woke up early in the morning to poo a little bit out. Then got ready and went. No accidents. I was worried that there was still going to be some left in my colon but thankfully they said my bowel prep was excellent.

My biggest tip would be to make sure to drink plenty of water to clean everything out. I think I had 2 litres of water and 2 litres of that laxative drink. Also the laxative drink tastes awful but my second was so much better because it was chilled for longer so make sure to keep it in the fridge. My biggest fear is being sick and I felt like I was going to be sick with the 1st one that wasn't that chilled so the 2nd one felt so much better with it being more chilled and I was able to drink it faster.

Hope everything goes okay! My FIT result was 400 (they described it as 'there was some blood found in your poo test' -  I wonder what a high result would be considered as!) and everything was fine, I just had internal piles.

[@KateG83]‍ thank you! That sounds positive! 

[@Ineedabreak]‍ thank you for your reply, the Prep is just the most worrying part! 

[@freya2002]‍ that's reassuring that yours was infernal piles and was 400! I should imagine mine will be practically nothing at 13 lol. Think the gp is more concerned about the problems I'm having and ibs medications haven't worked at all. They have given me lots to try! So fingers crossed I can find out what's going on. I forgot to mention in my original post, that my problems became severe after my emergency c section in 2021. Everything has just been horrific I don't feel I can leave the house and my anxiety makes it even worse x
