I have bitten the bullet and got my appointment as I know that unless I go through this test I will just worry and worry that my bowel symptoms are not IBS but something sinister. Even though the outside of my colon and the first 3rd inside have already been checked my health anxiety won't let me rest until its all done.

Of course I am worrying that the fleet mixture will give me an electrolyte inbalance but have ordered some electrolyte mixture to drink during the prep. then I worry that they will perforate my bowel or I will get an infection from a dirty colonoscope . It never ends what you can worry about.

I have read that if you eat a low residue diet for 5 days before prep then the prep isn't as bad????Anyone done this or can give me any tips on what to do during prep??
