Follow the instructions - the worst thing would be to find out you weren't emptied out enough and had to do it all again. Then relax. There's nothing the staff hasn't seen before, and they won't remember you at all. It will be odd when they cheer and applaud you for farting massively afterwards, but they will. Enjoy the fun.

Best wishes and may they find nothing in there.


To avoid this problem of not adequately clearing out the colon, start the prep 4-6 hours before they instruct you to. If you are “cleaned out” by midnight rather than wondering about it at 7am the morning of the procedure, so much the better, not?

There is some variation in how fast these preps work in individuals.
