Re: Intractable diarrhea??/Shelley

- My first sigmoidoscopy did not require a prep other than enema, but

every colonoscopy since then has. I wouldn't think dehydration would be a

problem as a result of the preparation, since the prep (at least the ones I've

taken - Golytely/Colytely) contain electrolytes and are specifically designed

NOT to cause dehydration.

I'm a little puzzled on this one.

Question: has anyone here had a colonoscopy while in midst of diarrhea? Doc

doesn't want to do one as long as he has this due to risk of dehydration...
