    Colonoscopy prep anxiety

    Is the prep really that bad for a colonoscopy? Today I can only eat certain foods, which is fine, but tomorrow I can only drink clear liquids and I have all that liquid laxative to drink.
    I've never had one before and I'm also breastfeeding and I'm starting to feel extremely anxious how the laxatives are going to effect me.
    Some positive thoughts would be wonderful.

    I wouldn't describe it as a pleasant experience but fortunately the test itself is easy

    I have had this 3 times & its fine. You just keep pooping thats all. I am always anxious about things & I did worry about it the first time I was going to do it & wish I hadn't. So basically don't worry its really just pooping after taking the prep. The test itself is also nothing at all to worry about.
