• It is very important that you follow each step and complete all of these instructions or your colonoscopy may have to be repeated
• Watch the video for helpful tips and suggestions to take the preparation for your colonoscopy
• PURCHASE IN ADVANCE

One Clenpiq Bowel Prep Kit-Prescription required

SEVEN DAYS BEFORE COLONOSCOPY

• Stop all fiber supplements and medications containing iron, including multivitamins
• You may have to stop certain medications. Talk with your prescribing physician and let them know you are getting a colonoscopy.

DAY BEFORE COLONOSCOPY Diet Modifications

• DO NOT eat any solid food starting today.
• Please have a clear liquid diet for the rest of the day. Please avoid all liquids that are red or purple. Please avoid all dairy products.
• A clear liquid diet may include:

1. Soup : Clear broths such as chicken, vegetable, beef consommé. These broths should not have noodles or solid food in them
2. Juice : Apple, limeade, white cranberry, white grape
3. Beverages : Tea (please do not add milk), coffee (please do not add milk), soda, Gatorade (or other sports drinks), water, vitamin water(or other similar drinks)
4. Desserts : Jello (no red or purple), Italian ices, popsicles, hard candies
5. Prep Instructions

• At 6 PM, drink one bottle of clenpiq.
• Clenpiq is ready for you to drink from the bottle. It does not need to be mixed or diluted.
• Do not refrigerate or freeze clenpiq.
• Drink an additional 5 cups (8 oz each) of water or clear liquids.
• Expect to move your bowels at least 5-10 times, although some people do not have multiple bowel movements after this initial dose of preparation. It usually takes about 30-60 minutes after drinking the solution to begin having bowel movements. You may notice some bloating or cramping at the beginning of the preparation, but this will usually improve once the bowel movements begin.
• The time of this dose may be adjusted to suit individual schedules.

DAY OF COLONOSCOPY

• Six hours before the scheduled time of your procedure, drink another bottle of clenpiq.
• Drink an additional 5 cups (8 oz each) of water or clear liquids.
• Bowel movements should resume within 30 minutes to one hour. Expect to move your bowels at least 10-15 times.
• By the end of your prep, your stool should become a clear, yellow-tinged fluid. If the stool coming out is not a clear, yellow-tinged fluid, please drink an additional 32 ounces of water or another clear fluid approximately 3 ½ hours prior to your procedure time.
• You may continue to drink clear fluids until 3 hours before the test is scheduled, but then nothing by mouth after that.

How do I know if my prep is adequate? The stool should be watery in consistency and should be a clear, yellow-tinged fluid without stool particles. Digestive secretions will continue to “tint” the stool yellow. If you are concerned that there are still stool particles present, you can self-administer one or two saline enema laxatives (these are available in pharmacies without prescription as 4.5 fluid ounce enemas) prior to leaving home for the procedure.

• Please arrive 1 hour in advance of your scheduled procedure time to allow time to complete the necessary paperwork.
• Please bring a photo ID.
• Please bring a current insurance card, if applicable.
• If for any reason you need to cancel your procedure, please call your doctor at the number provided to you. You must call at least 48 hours in advance to allow other patients to be scheduled for procedures.

What if I still poop the morning of my colonoscopy?

What if I’ve taken all my preparation and am still passing solid stool on the day of my exam? In this case, your procedure will need to be rescheduled. You may be prescribed a different preparation for your next procedure. Please call the triage nurse to reschedule your procedure with a different preparation.

Can you drink colonoscopy prep too fast

Preparing for your colonoscopy I have a headache. Can I take Tylenol ® ? Yes. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is allowed, but no more than 4,000 mg (milligrams) should be taken in 24 hours. If you have an allergy to Tylenol, then you should not take it.

Also, if you have liver failure or cirrhosis, you should limit the amount of Tylenol that you take to 2,000 mg in 24 hours. What can I mix with the MiraLAX ® powder? You can mix your MiraLAX powder with:

WaterGatoradePedialyte®Crystal Light

Don’t mix MiraLAX with carbonated beverages (soda) or alcohol. Can I drink all of my prep the night before? No. We ask patients not to drink all of the prep the night before their colonoscopy, and to finish their dose the next morning. Studies have shown that split dose preps (in which laxatives are taken the evening before and the morning of the colonoscopy) produce better cleansing.

While this can make for an early morning, the most important thing is that you get a good quality exam. A good quality exam will reduce the chance of having to repeat the prep and the colonoscopy or having polyps missed during the exam. If there is stool residue stuck to the side of your colon, your doctor may not be able to find and remove all polyps and cancer can be missed.

What time do I really need to start my clear liquid diet? The clear liquid diet (not eating solid food) is aimed at lessening stool production in the body. This allows us to use a small volume of bowel prep and have a better cleansing of the colon. We ask that you start the clear liquid diet the day before your colonoscopy starting in the morning with your first meal until two hours before your check-in time on the day of your colonoscopy.

Do I need to finish my entire prep? Even if you’re having clear, liquid stool, you still need to finish your prep. Your body produces six to seven liters of fluid a day, even if you’re not consuming solid food. This fluid is continuously coating the colon. Consuming the entire prep helps clean out this fluid and helps improve the quality of your colonoscopy.

What if I’m on antibiotics? For most people, being on antibiotics when you have a colonoscopy shouldn’t be an issue. It’s important to let your doctor know why you’re taking antibiotics. I can’t find my prep directions. What do I do? You have received a letter from The Everett Clinic with your prep directions.

• These were sent on the day you scheduled your colonoscopy.
• If you have, your prep directions can be found there in the “Letters” section.
• If you still can’t find your prep directions after trying the above suggestions, please call the on-call doctor at Can I do a pill prep? No.
• We have seen with tens of thousands of patients over the years that the pill prep doesn’t work as well as the standard liquid prep.

Pill prep hasn’t been studied by doctors and there have been concerns over its safety. Often pill prep leads to exams that don’t work well or that aren’t complete. If this happens, you will have to have another colonoscopy. We value your time and that of your family and friends who will bring you to your appointment.

1. Our goal is to make sure your colonoscopy exam works well.
2. We also don’t want you to have to have more colonoscopies that aren’t needed.
3. Can I start my prep earlier or later? We ask that you start the bowel prep at the time we gave you.
4. But if you do start one or two hours earlier or later than the time given you, that’s fine as long as you follow the clear liquid diet for the day.

Important Administration Instructions One bottle of CLENPIQ is equivalent to one dose. Two doses of CLENPIQ are required for a complete preparation for colonoscopy as a Split-Dose regimen.

How many hours will I poop after colonoscopy prep

Frequently Asked Questions –

Will a colonoscopy prep keep you up all night? You make wake up once or twice to go to the bathroom, but it shouldn’t keep you up all night. However, some people are required to wake in the middle of the night to take a second dose of laxatives at least four to six hours before their procedure. How long does it take a colonoscopy prep to clear bowels completely? It can take 12 to 16 hours for the bowels to completely clear. Eating a low-residue, soft diet for a day or more before starting the prep can help make it easier and faster. Do you need an enema before a colonoscopy? Your provider may instruct you to use an enema the morning of your colonoscopy if the laxatives did not completely empty your bowels. If you need to do this, do so at least two hours before your scheduled arrival time.

How long will I have diarrhea after colonoscopy

Colonoscopy recovery and side effects – Typically, patients are groggy after a colonoscopy because it takes time for the anesthesia to fully wear off. That means you’ll need someone to drive you home. Plan to stay at the facility for one to two hours after your colonoscopy.

During recovery, you may be offered something to drink and/or eat. It’s normal to feel bloated and gassy after the procedure; abdominal cramping may also occur. You’ll be encouraged to pass gas to help reduce bloating. You may pass liquid and/or liquid stool after your colonoscopy but, within one to five days, your bowel movements should return to normal.

If you’ve had a biopsy, it’s normal to experience anal bleeding or bloody stool after the procedure. Delayed bleeding may also occur for up to two weeks afterward.

Why is a morning colonoscopy better than afternoon?

Discussion – Our findings show a decrease in PDR and ADR in afternoon compared to morning colonoscopies when procedures are performed in full-day blocks. These results are consistent with previous studies that compared PDRand ADR in morning and afternoon colonoscopies,

A study by Sanaka et al showed that this effect was more than just a morning versus afternoon occurrence and that there was a linear decline in ADR as the day progressed, Our study also shows an hour-by-hour progressive effect on adenoma decline ( Fig.1A ). The quality of bowel preparation is critical for successful mucosal visualization and polyp detection.

Better bowel preparation quality in the morning hours may have contributed to our findings, but the relationship between time of day and polyp or adenoma detection persisted even when this was adjusted for in a multivariate analysis. Our retrospective study looked at data from 2008 to 2011.

While current recommendations are to document the adequacy of bowel preparation using the Boston scale, after all appropriate measures have been taken, including washing and suctioning to clear residual debris, the modified Aronchick scale that we used here was an acceptable measure for this time period.

As far as withdrawal times are concerned, we found that they were greater than the recommended 6 min in both AM and PM colonoscopies. Moreover, there were no significant differences in either withdrawal time or cecal intubation time across the day, thus ruling this out as a possible confounding factor.

In a multivariate analysis, with adjustment for multiple patient and procedure variables, there was a decline in adenoma detection in afternoon colonoscopies. ADR in afternoon colonoscopies was lower than the recommended 25% for males and 15% for females. Endoscopist fatigue has been hypothesized as a possible explanation for the lower PDR and ADR in the afternoon when colonoscopies are performed in full-day blocks,

Polyp yield may decrease over time as a result of cognitive or perceptual errors arising from a long and repetitive activity, While our study design did not allow for direct evaluation of endoscopist fatigue as the day progressed, it certainly remains a possible reasonable explanation for the decrease in polyp and adenoma yield.

1. Like previous studies, our study found an overall (combined male and female) decrease in polyp and adenoma yield in PM colonoscopies.
2. However, the earlier studies did not examine the impact of timing (AM vs.
3. PM) in male and female patients separately.
4. We found that the time effect was different in males and females ( Table 3 ).

In a multivariate analysis, adjusting for extraneous variables, females showed a statistically significant decrease in ADR in PM colonoscopies, whereas males showed only a non-significant decrease. This represents an important sex-related difference regarding the outcomes of colonoscopies.

• In our study, females had a longer cecal intubation time and total time of colonoscopy, suggesting a higher level of difficulty in female patients.
• Previous studies have also demonstrated that colonoscopy is technically more challenging in females than in males,
• Waye and Bashkoff described cecal intubation to be more difficult in women, irrespective of the history of pelvic surgery,

Several anatomic variations have been implicated in this difference, including a longer colon, the dipping of the transverse into the pelvis, and the presence of more angulations and tortuosity in female colons because a longer colon is folded into a smaller abdominal cavity,

• In addition, female patients tend to have a deeper pelvis, which creates acute angulation when the proximal sigmoid colon comes out of the pelvis over the uterus.
• These factors, amongst others, contribute to the higher level of difficulty of female colonoscopies.
• We believe that the drop in ADR may be more pronounced in women because this higher level of difficulty may enhance physician fatigue.

Moreover, females have a substantially lower overall incidence of polyps and adenoma than males; this difference may contribute to the lower rate of polyp and adenoma detection in PM colonoscopies, especially when combined with endoscopist fatigue. Based on the above findings of our study, we suggest that female or difficult colonoscopies should be performed in the morning.

1. We acknowledge the limitations of the retrospective nature of our study, in that there is a potential for unmeasured bias.
2. Physician fatigue was not measured, it was speculated to be the possible cause for decreased polyp detection by exclusion of other variables and no data exist to suggest a causal relationship.

Similarly, we did not directly measure the difficulty level of the procedure. Female colonoscopies were considered difficult because of the longer cecal intubation time and total time of colonoscopy. We did not evaluate the impact of time of colonoscopy on either advanced adenomas or CRC.

The size and site of the polyp removed are important, but they were not recorded in our study. In addition, our analysis did not include a comparison between AM versus PM colonoscopies, or female versus male patients, per endoscopist. It is also possible that these findings at an academic institution cannot be generalized to other settings, including community hospitals.

In conclusion, our study suggests that overall polyp and adenoma detection decreases as the day progresses. Both male and female patients showed a decrease in ADR in afternoon procedures but the decrease was only statistically significant in female patients.

How fast do you wake up after colonoscopy

What happens during a colonoscopy? – About 30-60 minutes prior to the colonoscopy, the patient changes into a gown, and a nurse will get an IV started. The doctor or a nurse will go over what will happen during the procedure and any risks associated with it.

1. Then, the patient is usually administered light sedation via pill or IV.
2. Due to the sedation, it is unlikely the patient will remember the colonoscopy itself.
3. Once the procedure is over, the patient will need about 30-60 minutes to recover from the sedation before getting dressed and leaving the building.

As a last step before leaving, the doctor will review what he or she found during the colonoscopy and discuss next steps, if there are any. If the doctor removed polyps or took tissue samples (biopsies), those will be sent to a lab to determine if they are benign, precancerous, or cancerous.

• In cases where a polyp or growth is too big to be removed during a colonoscopy, the doctor will recommend seeing a specialist or surgeon who can do so.
• In these cases, the doctor may advise following a low residue diet for a period of time.
• Because the residual effects of sedation can last for up to a day, patients cannot drive themselves home and should not make any important decisions until the effects have completely worn off.

During the rest of the day following a colonoscopy, the patient may feel bloated and pass gas while clearing air from the colon.

What causes colonoscopy prep not to work

Hospitalized Patients – Up to 34% of inpatients show inadequate bowel preparation, which entails rising costs due to repeated procedures and a longer hospitalization stay. Low socioeconomic status, drugs, ASA ≥3, nausea and vomiting, or older age have been reported as risk factors for poor bowel cleansing ( 55 ).

What do I do if my colonoscopy prep doesn’t work

What happens if I drink the preparation and get no results? – If you don’t have frequent and progressively looser bowel movements within 3 hours of taking the preparation you will likely need something else to help it to work properly.

Why can’t I poop even after taking laxatives?

Fecal Impaction: What is it and how is it treated? Medically Reviewed by on December 29, 2022 A fecal impaction is a large, hard mass of stool that gets stuck so badly in your colon or rectum that you can’t push it out. This problem can be very severe.

• It can cause grave illness or even death if it’s not treated.
• It’s more common among older adults who have bowel problems.
• Fecal impaction becomes more likely to happen when you’re elderly.
• There are a few common reasons why you could have this problem: Constipation.
• Fecal impaction can sometimes develop if you’re – meaning you have the urge to make a bowel movement but can’t follow through – and don’t receive any treatment.

Laxatives. If you take laxatives too often, you could keep your body from “knowing” when it’s time to have a bowel movement. Your body will be less likely to respond to the urge to go, and stool may build up in your colon or rectum. Other medicines. Some opioid drugs that treat pain can slow down your digestion, making stool more likely to build up in your colon.

• Activity level.
• If you’re not active, you’re more likely to be constipated and have a fecal impaction than people who move around during the day.
• Bathroom habits.
• If you often hold in your bowel movements because you don’t have access to a toilet when you need one, or you don’t want to go when you’re in a strange place, it could lead to a fecal impaction over time.

Often, if you have a fecal impaction, chances are you’ve been constipated for a while. And then suddenly, you might have other symptoms, including:

Very watery that leaks or explodes out Diarrhea or stool that leaks out when you cough or laugh Back or stomach pain Little or no urine (and no urge to pee) A swollen belly A too-fast heartbeat (tachycardia) A fever Confusion

If you’ve been constipated and have any of these problems, contact your doctor right away. They should let you know whether you’re having an emergency and should call 911 for help. Many people with fecal impaction are very old or have other grave illnesses, so this problem may be life-threatening.

1. Call 911 right away if you have trouble breathing, a fast or, or are dizzy or confused.
2. There are several ways that your doctor can find out if you have a fecal impaction.
3. Medical history.
4. Your doctor will ask how often you go to the bathroom, when you last went, and whether it was hard.
5. They’ll need to know if you’re often constipated and how often you use laxatives.

Other questions you can expect: How much water and other liquids do you drink, how much fiber do you eat, and what medications do you take? Physical exam. Your doctor should check your overall health and perform a digital rectal exam. To do this, your doctor will put on gloves, add lubricant (a slippery gel) to one finger, then insert their finger into your rectum to feel for a fecal impaction or other problems.

1. X-ray. Your doctor may be able to spot a fecal impaction by taking X-ray images of your belly.
2. Sigmoidoscopy.
3. During this test, your doctor uses a sigmoidoscope (a thin, tubelike instrument with a light and a lens) to look for problems inside your lower colon in the area closest to your rectum.
4. They will inspect the colon for a fecal impaction or something else that’s causing your symptoms.

When you have a fecal impaction, you’ll need to have the hard mass of stool removed from your colon or rectum to get better. It won’t go away on its own, and it can lead to death if it’s allowed to worsen. Enema for fecal impaction The most common treatment for a fecal impaction is an enema, which is a special fluid that your doctor inserts into your rectum to soften your stool.

1. An enema often makes you have bowel movements, so it’s possible that you’ll be able to push out the mass of stool on your own once it’s been softened by the enema.
2. Sometimes, if an enema alone doesn’t do the trick, the stool must be broken up and removed by hand.
3. Once the hard mass of stool is removed, your bowel habits should return to normal as long as you manage your future chances for constipation.

There are things you can do to help reduce your chances of fecal impaction:

Take any stool softeners (medicine that makes it easier to pass) that your doctor prescribes. Stay active, even if you just go for a daily walk. Drink plenty of water and eat high-fiber foods to keep your bowels regular. Ask your doctor whether medicines you’re taking could cause problems.

Your doctor may recommend some lifestyle changes as part of your hard stool treatment. The intent is usually to increase the speed of your bowel movements. Getting more fiber You may be asked to make diet changes that include more fruits and vegetables during your meals.

Other recommendations for adding fiber often include eating whole-grain cereals and bread. Your doctor may have specific advice about the amount of fiber you should try to consume each day. Starting an exercise routine Physical activity can help increase muscle activity in your intestines. Ask your doctor how many days per week you should try to exercise.

Make sure the program does not worsen your overall health. Taking supplements Your doctor may tell you to start taking laxatives to soften your hard stool and ease your bowel movements. There are a variety of laxatives on the market that may work, depending on your circumstances, including:

Fiber supplements to bulk up your stool Stimulants that help your intestine contract Osmotics that increase the fluid secretions in your bowels to help stimulate bowel movements Lubricants that ease the passage of stool through your colon Stool softeners that draw water into hard stools from your intestine and suppositories to soften stools and stimulate a bowel movement

How do you make Clenpiq work

You take the first 6-ounce ounces bottle of CLENPIQ the evening before your colonoscopy at 5:00 PM. You will take the second 6-ounce bottle of CLENPIQ the morning of your colonoscopy (5 hours before your procedure). It is important to drink the additional water as recommended in the instructions for use.
