Drinking the laxative drink before a colonoscopy...

Had to do this when i got diagnosed with crohns isn't fun at all and i know i will have to do it again, you have my sympathy.
 
if you dont mind asking but how old was you lot when you were diagnosed.

ive heard it is most common in younger men.

when i have my camera next Saturday ill be 43 that day and hoping i dont have anything wrong.

Mine still isn't under control but started getting infleximab infusions and its going well i also take aziphioprine and pentasa, i was on steroids but they have done my bones no good what so ever that in fact i now have a fractured spine.

Those laxatives are nothing. Wait and see if your doctor signs you up for a barium meal test. Then you will have my sympathy. It's like drinking liquified lead.

I've had a barium meal x-ray, and I'd sooner do that again than take those sort of laxatives. Barium meal goes in and comes out at a sensible pace in a reasonably sensible fashion. These laxatives take no prisoners and everything is coming out ASAP.
 
well.ive been on the klean prep today for my appointment tomorrow and it's been a very nasty and messy experience.

don't want to smell or taste another drop of klean prep again.
 
my camera bumrape is this morning at 8.40.

and i must ad it is my birthday as well today so my bum is going to be violated on my birthday !
 
Im recently just out of hospital for a bad flare up. I've been on mysalazeen and mesavant but both didn't really work, first one was useless but the mesavant worked for a bit then stopped. They did a mri scan where you drink that lead type stuff but said everythings pointed at colitis, was diagnosed march last year had quite a few flare ups since, it's a nightmare, Im not on azathiaprin but only just started, hope it works.

@ Bledd read your blogg, very interesting but freaky as hell if I add, you must have went through hell. Thats the last thing I'd want :(.
 
it is my birthday as well today so my bum is going to be violated on my birthday !

Personally I prefer to smash a pasty - but it takes all sorts, and nobody should be judging anyone. If that's what two consenting adults want to do to each other then that's fine.

All I can say is please use protection.

thanks for the advice dude.:D:D:D:D
 
Haha, I'd forgotten about this thread. I was fine, I don't remember a thing as I was sedated up to the eyeballs...good times :D.

If anything, I feel slightly better since, a good clearout can never go amiss.
 
mine wasnt so good.

hurt like **** and i think the doctor took a wrong turn with the camera.

went in because they thought i had Colitis but actually turns out to be stalked polyp which wasnt good news.

the doctor took one one out which was 2cm big and another one for biopsy.

got a 3 to 4 week wait for the results now.
 
Always upsetting to see so many members of the UC/ Chron’s team speaking out. Bleddyn and I were near enough synced in our timelines and it was certainly comforting to have contact with him as we went through it together.

Interestingly enough I’m out in America and they’re currently running a litigation program (resulting in payouts of $10M + a time) for those who have faced UC/ Chron’s as a result of Accutane which has been withdrawn from the market. Shocking to think that an acne drug may be the root of this evil for a good number of people.
