I’m so scared. Is the prep as bad as I’ve heard??

The consultant said he thinks im dealing with ibs but he could see how anxious I was and said that we can schedule a colonoscopy to be 100% for my peace of mind.

Its next Tuesday.

The prep isn't fun but it's doable. Just have a couple of magazines, a book or a fully charged phone/laptop as you'll be spending a bit of time lounging in the 'reading room' ;) The procedure is a breeze and they'll give you the good stuff so you won't care anyway.

Thank you, does the diarrhea come with cramps? Is it painful?

No... just urgency. That's why I said, stay near the 'reading room'.
