A member asked:
For a colonscopy, i finished half the drink and haven't gone to the bathroom. what should i do? should i finish the drink?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You : You should finish the drink for the colon cleansing. Every person is different in their response to the "clean out" solutions, just like everyone has a slightly different bowel elimination pattern. If you are not cleaned out, the colonoscopy is not worth doing. Some people may even require 2 days of colon cleansing. Talk to your physician about your preparation!
