I was sedated when I had my scope - but remember watching on screen. Weird seeing your own insides! I have back and muscular issues too - so that won't help me!
I was told nothing bad there - and I was happy about that. I am an avid fibre watcher now - never mind calories! Fortunately fibre one bars taste nice, are not a lot of calories and have 5g in each one - so they really help!
I have tried to get into a 'routine' but my body just won't do it! GI said he had detected muscle weakness - but thats not his department! I can't go all at once either - sometimes I have 3 or 4 trips before I am 'empty'. I have got ongoing back issues as well - and I don't think that helps! Glad the yellow stuff is nothing - didn't think it was anything to worry about! Join this discussion or start a new one?

How long does moviprep stay in your system after colonoscopy? New discussion Reply. If you are allowed to eat more fibre and do the usual self-help things for constipation your gut might just normalise because constant use of laxatives can make the bowel lazy.
I really hope so because I know how miserable constipation can be. It drives me nearly mad when I get it Good luck! Glennie68 etheremail. Thanks for replying etherenail! Hi I had a colonoscopy back in April and was given Moviprep for the first time rather than my normal Picolax. Glennie68 dimmy. Yellow mucas is not a good sign after have that done I did not have that constipation could be a sign of polyps too have you got your results back if the yellow mucas usually is a sign of IBS keeps up call your doctor.
Glennie68 patty Hi Patty, thanks for replying! Bright yellow stuff after heavy diarrhoea is common because the pigment that normally makes it look dark brown gets washed out.
Not everyone gets it but it is not abnormal nor is a bit of time for the gut to get back to normal. This laxative clears the entire intestinal tract - small and large intestine. Stomach cramping and gas are completely normal.
Laying a clean, damp cloth on your stomach can help with any discomfort. A small bit of activity—such as a walk around the house—may also help relieve uncomfortable side effects. Following each step of your healthcare provider's bowel prep instructions is very important. Sometimes it may seem like you're just repeating steps, such as using an enema after having several bowel movements.
But there's a reason for the entire process. When your bowel movements contain only brown liquids, you are almost finished with your bowel prep.
The color of your stools eventually ends up a yellowish clear liquid. If there is any cloudiness to your liquid stool, your bowel prep is not complete. At some point, you may find that your stools have become clear, liquid, and yellowish before completing your entire prep. It's important to finish the prep anyway.
Sometimes, stool that is higher in your colon hasn't left your body yet. Completing all steps of your prep offers you the best chance of having a clear bowel for your colonoscopy and not having to repeat the test. Just because your stools are clear, liquid, and yellowish doesn't mean your bowel prep is over. It's important to follow all of the bowel prep steps. Following each step exactly makes sure you have a clear bowel and you're ready for your colonoscopy.
Deciding to cancel your procedure is not an easy decision for a healthcare provider to make. This is because you are most likely sedated and the practitioner has already started the procedure. The healthcare provider can only perform the colonoscopy if the colon is completely clean. If you didn't finish your prep or your bowel movements aren't reduced to clear liquids, contact the healthcare provider so you can reschedule your procedure. There's really no way to know for sure whether your bowel prep is complete before you have a colonoscopy.
In fact, it's not unusual for people to have an incomplete prep that requires the healthcare provider to reschedule the exam. Sometimes you may have the exam but receive inadequate results. This often happens when people skip one of the steps of the prep because they believe they are done.
It can also happen because they don't think all of the steps are necessary. The best way to make sure your bowel prep is complete is by performing each step of the bowel prep just as your healthcare provider recommends. Before you get a colonoscopy, it's important that you follow the bowel prep directions given to you so that you know when the prep is done.
Your stools should be clear, yellowish liquid near the end of the prep. But don't stop then: Make sure to complete all the steps in the directions. Closely following these instructions will help ensure the colonoscopy is effective. Preparing for a colonoscopy isn't exactly fun, but it's an important exam that can help you live a long, healthy life. By following your healthcare provider's bowel prep directions, you will prepare for the colonoscopy effectively so you can put it behind you and move on with your life.
