Electrolytes: Chances are that your electrolytes got a bit out of wack when you drank all that stuff to clean yourself out for the colonoscopy. That liquid pulls thing, including water through your intestines and washes out electrolytes along the way. Sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium levels could be off. Drink plenty of fluids, electrolyte containing, eat bananas and oranges.
