Doesnt mention fasting or picking up a prep in chemist?

Where are you getting it done? I was in the Mater. You are in the waiting room until there is a bed free. then you get changed and stick in the bed until they push you away to get it done. So no one sees you.

You have to pick up the prep ahead of time from the hospital. And would STRONGLY suggest you take the day off work!!

Did anyone not have a follow up consultation after colonoscopy. I was given a tablet to take for 6 months after it in the hospital but I'm suffering further trouble now with my bowels, a gp gave me immodium last night but I'll be back to see him tomorrow if things don't improve.

What was the tablet ? I'm on mezevant. And they gave me a number of a nurse in the gi clinic mater if there was ever anything wrong.

40 mg nexium. Mine started in Tallaght but was outsourced to Mount Carmel to get it done sooner.

missed my follow up consulatation, have it on the 28th January.
Stomach has been better since the procedure but there is still something there IBS I reckon.
Really depends on what I eat and drink , its just a matter of finding out whats good and whats not.
Will be interesting on the follow up consult, reckon another scope in a few months...

Hi , I had this colonoscopy procedure yesterday 22/01/13 in westmeath hospital . about 5 mins into procedure experenced severe pains for what seem like the rest of the test but didnt get anymore sedative or pain medication ,was aware of everything that was going on and could see all on the monitor . doctor removed one polyp he found and said would need to do test again in 2 years. anyway when i got home wanted to check what i should or should not eat / drink that evening and went looking on the web for people who had this treatment and what their experencies were . what i found was quite alarming as i dont think people are made aware of the pros and cons of this procedure no matter how low the % of problems are. the links below are a bit dated and from the usa so i dont know how relevant it is to irish patients . i am not trying to scare people but would like to know what your take on this information is . i am 44 year old male .

Eat whatever you want. If you look hard enough you will always find something bad. I could google "the dangers of owning a cat" and probably find a range of articles and "studies".

A bland diet at the start, no onions wholemeal/grain cereals etc. Had mine today, a hemeroid and a couple of polups plus a hiatus hernia. B/tard hurt me, don't really remember much, am getting a flashbck of me abusing the nurse during the endoscapy, she told me before hand I would probably do that. Tried to pull the tube out of my throat aparently.

Had my follow up consultation last Monday.
Good news.
I need to go back in 3 years for another scope due to the fact that they found a polyp.
It looked fairly big ( I know it was blown up on the screen but still)
Doc said all was fine apart from that, endoscopy was clear etc.
I do need to lose about a stone or so in weight but I knew that myself.
Food wise he couldn't really advise me, if it's ibs as he suggested , it's really a matter of finding what foods work for you apart from the obvious , no junk , fatty or salty foods, ease up on the beer etc.

Overall quite relieved and stomach hasn't been bad all week, I'm guessing stress and worry were playing their part.

I've started probiotic yoghurt drinks and started drinking lots of water.
Feeling better for the first time in over a year.
