We do this every day now: Your prep depends on your doctor.

There are medical reasons, but in some cases the GI is just old and set in his ways.

At my last one my nurse told me you wouldn't believe how many patients claim

Had my second one back in January. Still did the liquid prep but didn't find it nearly as bad

There are about as many protocols as there are gastroenterologists, I think

Pro Tip. If you don’t have to, don’t do ColoGuard

Cologuard sucks because of the anxiety it causes.

Yeah I think mine detected “irregularities”

Backing up what others have already said: The prep is the worst part...
Posted by KingTalkyTiki Having a Grandfather that passed at 59 from colon cancer means I've already had two of 'em.

I’ve only done one but I got to do two preps since the first didn’t clean me out enough
