Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Sorry Aubrey, your message has me confused. Does " this stuff " refer to Pico-Salix or the Phosphosoda cleaning you out?

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 just picked up on the pico-salix conversaton - Mike's G.I. specialist insists on the soda phos stuff, but mike refused to drink it yet again - at the hospital where I work, I'd noticed that one internists patients were coming in for colonscopies and saying how much of a relief (no pun intended) it was that they could drink the pico-salix - I called the transplant centre and asked if mike could use it and they knew nothing about it and said basically no, he had to drink what the dr. wanted. Well, mike being mike, got the pico-salix and took that - went for the colonoscopy and afterwards asked his doc if he was cleaned out enough, and Dr. Tanton was pleased with everything, it was then that he confessed to taking something other than he'd ordered. I know it's personal experience, but most people feel the prep is worse than the procedure, and if you can get something down you without vomiting or gagging it's great. For Mike, he will continue to use the pico salix. He asked about visicol pills but they didn't seem to know anything about them here.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Thank you to every one who chipped in on the Pico-Salix bit, my Mom's procedure went well just waiting for biopsy results. She took the Pico and said it tastes just fine and had no troubles with it. So I figured that When I get my colonoscopy next year I'm tring it. To bad I did'nt know about this stuff earlier, I had mine last Fri. and used Fleet(yuck in a bottle) Debbi B. > > just picked up on the pico-salix conversaton - Mike's G.I. specialist > insists on the soda phos stuff, but mike refused to drink it yet again - at >> Patti > > > > " your heart is like a river....it can easily be poisoned by those who leave > their trash behind " > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
