Aww [@Wanderer1970]‍ , not much longer to go now. I hope it goes okay on Tuesday and you get a good result and you can put all this behind you. Is tomorrow your moviprep day? I hope that's not too horrible. My hints and tips from the hospital for it says drink it chilled through a straw, and have something to read in the bathroom! 

Out of curiosity did your allowed food also specify Yorkshire puddings? I'm in Yorkshire and wondered if cutting out Yorkies was deemed a step too far for us Northerners! X

Thanks. It killed me to not have Yorkshires  and gravy today! However I wasn't told to avoid them. It's plain, unhealthy food I've been advised to eat.. white bread/rice/pasta and to avoid fruit and veg. I've got some custard for this evening, then I'm full fasting tomorrow. X

Hi [@Wanderer1970]‍ 

I hope today went okay and you're back at home recovering now.

Good morning! It's very good news as far as the scope is concerned.  I have a couple of small internal piles, but otherwise a health colon! I really wasn't expecting good news. So can I just say for anyone waiting for theirs, my FIT result was 171 and I had pain in left hand side for past couple of months, but got the all clear. So please keep positive ️

That's brilliant news! So pleased for you! I bet that's a massive relief for you :) xx

Yayyy! :happy: Oh [@Wanderer1970]‍ thats such brilliant news,

im so pleased for you! You must be so relieved. Hope you fully recover from the scope soon, and celebrate with some non-beige food! X

Morning everyone!

today was my colonoscopy day, and it's been cancelled as I had a nightmare with the moviprep and the hospital don't think my bowels are empty :cry: I'm so so gutted. Especially after 5 days of prep.

My body doesn't agree with the moviprep. I drank the first litre at 8am yesterday. Tasted grim but did the job. Drank half of the second litre at 5:00pm and then just violently vomited it up. Tried again at 8:00pm - violent vomiting again twice (I was amazed how much liquid was inside me!). So i haven't kept enough down for it to do its job.

has anyone else had bad experience with moviprep? And any tips for picolax?

Hi everyone,

I would be grateful too for any tips with moviprep! I am 38 and had a fit result over 400 and going in for colonoscopy next Friday. I have heard moviprep is very hard to take. 
Also looking to know if anyone has or knows of anyone with a fit result over 400 that was something very simple. 
I've been bleeding for over a year and a half, progressively getting worse, almost every day with bloatedness, very gassy, irregular bowels etc and I'm very worried. 

I was also very nervous about taking the prep but actually found it no trouble at all.  I made up the prep in a large jug which I kept in the fridge, then  I put diluting juice into my glass, then filled it up with the prep. I also had a glass of water to take with it. I stopped solids 30 hours before, then just had custard and lots of fluid. I was so nervous about the procedure that I wasn't even hungry anyway. Good luck x
