Having my first-ever CT scan tomorrow (1/20)- tips, advice?

Fascinating! I had a vague idea that they might perform a fecalith-ectomy while doing the colonoscopy, it didn’t occur to me that going through the prep regimen might itself handle it. Though of course (as a veteran of 6 of them) the prep itself will cause you to excrete everything in your digestive canal and quite a lot of stuff that has never been NEAR your guts - “ooh, look, I think that was a kneecap!”.

If they do suggest you try it, go for the Gatorate + Miralax version. Same active primary ingredient (polyethylene glycol) as GoHeavily, far less vile from what I’ve heard.

You are hilarious! “OMG, there’s that earring I lost! And I wondered where my car keys had gotten to!”

SIX colonoscopies? Have you thought of getting a hobby?

When I did my one (what a rank amateur!) colonoscopy, I probably used the GoLytely (do you think Truman Capote would have been okay with that name?) and mixed Crystal Lite lemonade in it. And most importantly, I bought something called Boudreaux’x Butt Paste and applied it with a Huggies baby wipe to Ground Zero (where the sun don’t shine) EVERY TIME there was any activity Down There. Kept irritation to a minimum.

I really don’t want to have another colonoscopy. I’m willing to let you keep your title.
