I just had my first colonoscopy last week. I had to drink Golytely which was not pleasant. My dr. office told me I could mix in crystal light which normally gives me D and since that was the end goal I figured I would give it a try. Adding flavor did help a bit but it was difficult to get that stuff down.

The procedure the next day was a breeze. they gave me a muscle relaxer and a mild sedative. I slept through the whole thing. The doc did tell me that I have mild diverticulitis which is lovely on top of IBS D. She told me to eat more fiber.

You will be fine. If you have any questions or concerns call your doctors office and speak with the nurse.

Good luck!
