This is going to be late for you, but you should never take liver cleansers while taking medication. What you're describing is a combination colon/liver cleanse. Milk thistle and yellowdock, for example, are liver cleansers, and could theoretically wash some of the medication out of our system, as the body sees virtually all medication as toxic.
I think it depends on the type of enema. Using enemas frequently for constipation can cause your rectum to "forget" how to have a bowel movement naturally. Using enemas for "colon cleansing", I believe is not good, because your colon doesn't need any cleansing, it does this itself.
Doctor wil probably give you written instructions about how to prepare (1-2 days of special colon cleansing diet..). Before colonoscopy you will probably get an injection of a sedative into your arm vein that will make you drowsy. You will be lying on the examining table, doctor will insert colonoscope (about 1 cm thick flexible viewing tube with a camera and a light on the end) through your anus and proceed it to the end of the small intestine.
You were probably not doing it long enough, for a colonoscopy all you have to do is take something that will flush you out one or two days before the examination. This does not get rid of candida, parasites, and all the rest that does not belong in your intestines. It takes time to get rid of all those.
if they are doing a scope on your large intestine than yes they look at all 3 sections of your colon.
I have a half brother that died from colon cancer. My family has a history of polyps, thus I had my first colonoscopy at 37 (2 polyps) then at 46 (2 polyps) All benign thankfully. I've had complete annual physicals for the past 5 years and all good thankfully. I am due for a colonoscopy and am stressing about more polyps. Also have anxiety and that's flaring up because of the colonoscopy. Should I be concerned? Thank you!
I also am recovering from a perforated colon during colonoscopy. After my surgery and during recovery, I started feeling the need to take a deep cleansing breath, but could never fully finish the breath. I also was yawning hard, but could not finish the yawn, I hope you are able to follow me. As the days went by, I was not getting better but feeling as if the symptoms were worse. I finally saw an allergy/asthma specialist who told me I have asthma.
Had hernia surgery after reversed colonoscopy and am still in a lot of pain almost a year later. Doctor said one of my muscles had attached itself to my hip bone. I have had four surgeries from the beginning of a perforated colon.
Has anyone had anything remotely like this happen to them? I am so discouraged! Can't seem to find any help.
My left side bulges out and I feel bloated most of the time. Please I need help! I am desperate!
This is probably the best time for a colonoscopy because your colon will be clean already, and had time to rid itself of excess contents from thr constipation caused by the pills. They will make you drink a cleansing agent anyway, so you will be well prepared, lol. Drink at least a quart of water daily until then to protect from dehydration. They will put you to sleep with propofol, a non-narcotic, and no post op pain meds are required. Goodluck on your new journey to health.
I just had my second colonoscopy on Tues after a colonoscopy one year ago. The first one was stopped because of a tortuous colon. I thought I was having a bad painful dream when in reality I must have woken up at one point as the Dr was trying to maneuver the scope through the twisted part of my colon. I was given the option of the enema(which I had years ago)or another colonoscopy with deeper sedation. I chose the colonoscopy. I was given "Propo...
i had a colonoscopy the other day. the dr went around the first 'bend', but couldn't push thru any further. he said that he didn't want to push any further because he didn't want to 'tear' anything. he was being very vague about why it was blocked. i am not having any pain and my BMs are normal. i thought there was a scope on the end of these things so you can see what you are looking at. why couldn't he tell me what the blockage was?
your bowls still go thru your colon..the colon is your large intestine which still produces bowel..so in order for them to make sure that there isnt anything present in there, they have to make sure no food or bowel is present. I am going for another colonoscopy myself tuesday morning and i too dread the prep. Hope this has helped you. Also, make sure they know you have a colostomy before they preform the colonoscopy. My last one, they wanted my undergarment off and asked me to lay on my side.
