It was time for my 10-year colonoscopy exam. The last one did not reach far enough, was very uncomfortable, and the prep was violent and not totally effective. This time I used a different clinic and was determined that the exam would be clean and complete.
In ten years the colonoscopy preparation has become a more user-friendly, three-step process with less cramping and less violence. The desired result was for "clean and clear returns." After the second step, I began questioning the laxative's effectiveness - optimally clean was the objective. The user-friendly prep was not completely effective.
Thank heaven for OHN. Their fine equipment, comfortable technique, functional recipes, and the caring instruction of
DeeDee were put to work. The supplemental
large volume enema series (really large) reached and effectively cleaned the entire colon. Using your techniques the large enemas were surprising comfortable, and the water was easily released. The "clean and clear" objective had been accomplished.
At the exam the doctor commented on "how clean my entire colon was - and that made it easier for him to do the complete colonoscopy (all the way to the appendix). The procedure was comfortable and with great "clean" visualization, three small polyps were found and removed. These may have slipped by if the prep wasn't supplemented with the enemas.
Modern health care favors laxatives - but it took enemas to do the job right. Thanks for your great information, professional equipment, proven and researched recipes, and caring advice.
