Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | As requested

Here's where I'm at. I have received the instructions for my prep on Sunday. At 7:00 and 10:00 a.m. I will take 1.5 oz of Phospho-soda (that nasty liquid you have to drink). Sometime after, I expect my bowel to explode and to be sitting on the toilet indefinately.

During the day I will be taking 2 different types of antibiotics: Flagyl and Neomycin. The Flagyl is at 2, 5, 8, and 11 pm. The Neomycin is at 3, 6, and 9 pm. Lots of fun there too. Beyond that, it's a lot of drinking and more drinking, and some further drinking. Nothing to drink after 11 pm though.

Then the morning of, I will go to the hospital at 6:00 am where they will continue the bowel prep. I have been told this will involve a series of "quart-sized enemas". They actually offered me the option of coming in later to the hospital if I was willing to do the enemas at home, but remembering the problems I had with doing that before the barium enema, I told them to do it at the hospital.

And that's where I stand right now. I'll likely post a series of updates on Sunday while I go through the prep.
