I’ve done it three times and I’ve found a little help with the prep. Go to sonic and buy two Route 44 cups of ice. It makes the liquid you have to drink more palatable. (If you can call it that). I can’t understand why, with all the medical breakthroughs we have in this world, why they can’t develop a better way to prep. used to be a warm water enema, do you really want a "choice"?

I talked my Doc into letting me do the ColoGuard, just poop in a box and mail it in , I did it this morning , do not know how low for results
will detect cancer , not benign polyps.
good luck
Mo done one a yr. for about 6-7 yrs. now, va does them instead.

Mo If you used the USPS for mailing, most likely, someone, somewhere, is going to get that package by mistake. This has to be a joke, no way it's legal to mail [censored] in a box. Otherwise, I have many OT'ers mailing address and they are not going to be happy about me having this information.

I promise you that you don’t want colon cancer. It’s a horrible death as opposed to wrecking your bike.

I promise you that you don’t want colon cancer. It’s a horrible death as opposed to wrecking your bike. I have Ulcerative Colitis so I have had many they suck but really just the prep and getting stuck for an IV is the only problem. You are 100% under for the procedure and don’t feel a thing and not really residual effects. You should have one if 50 or older. My wife had one at 50 and they found/removed a large polyp. She had an aunt die of color cancer who knows that procedure could have very possibly been life saving. The main issue with colon cancer is it is called the silent killer. By the time you have enough symptoms to get it checked out...you will soon be really checking out. It is not that big of a deal to get one my advice is get it done. If you are clean you can go 5-10 years between. With my illness I have to get one every other year.

The prep is much worse than the exam.

I've had 2, on my first one everything went well. I woke up and I was hungry, told my wife on the way home to take me to Esparanzas for some Migas for breakfast, got about half way thru and all of a sudden I started feeling naxious and sweating, told the wife we got to go I think I'm gonna get sick. I fainted in the lobby right in front of the cash register, busted my face on the concrete floor. manager starts saying call 911, wife was hollering at me get up, when I came to I just jumped up and tried to walk out, they grabbed me and made me sit down and drink a glass of water, the manager and I talked for a little bit, then he escorted me out to the car. Would not let me pay for my meal. So let this be a lesson to all you, when they say go home, and eat some chicken noodle soup and some crackers they really do know what they are talking about!

Can Pancho’s be considered prep? I’m 46, work in healthcare, and do NOT look forward to the prostate exam or colonoscopy!!! I’ve seen both and yuck!
