Colonoscopy Prep....Oh Crap!
Colonoscopy Prep....Oh
Crap!
Know
matter what kind of prep you're prescribed its not fun guzzling gallons of
icky chemicals knowing what will be an uncomfortable end result. The
gurgly belly, the bubbles, praying you'll keep down the prep, feeling like an
oompa loompa, making sure you have your at home "prep kit": stock of good TP,
wipes, cream, new comfortable fuzzy pants, & 100% charged
iPad.
Did
You Know: Colorectal
Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death and yet early detection can
increase the odds of survival significantly.
So why are so many people avoiding early detection (e.g. a
colonoscopy)?
A
thorough exam of the colon is necessary to
detect cancer, precancerous growths or other abnormalities. And yet, a
successful colonoscopy depends on having a clear colon to allow for an
unobstructed view of the colon wall. Without proper pre-cleansing, the results
won't be accurate. Many people resist having a colonoscopy because they do
not want to take the harsh chemical laxatives recommended to prepare for the
exam. Others find the side effects of these drugs, such as diarrhea, abdominal
cramping, nausea and vomiting, to be so unpleasant that they won't return for a
follow up.
Question:
Is this the only way...or is there a better alternative????
Answer:
Colon Hydrotherapy.
Colon
Hydrotherapy has been used for years as a comfortable alternative prep for
colonoscopies. It is
an effective, convenient and gentle process that removes wastes from the entire
length of the colon leaving it clean and clear for your exam. Once clients try
it, they never go back to the
harsher laxative pre-treatment.
"Recently my doctor scheduled me for a
colonoscopy
and after hearing about colon
hydrotherapy at HC Wellness,
I decided to try that instead of the
prep I went
through last time. I can remember
being so sick
from drinking the prep then spending
what felt
like days in the bathroom and then
feeling so
exhausted afterwards, all I wanted to
do was
sleep. This time I did 2 colon
hydrotherapy sessions
back-to-back and after I felt rested
and ready to go.
Not only was my colon in good health
but the doctor
said my colon was nice and clean. I
will NEVER go
back to the old, out-of-date method as
prep again!"

Use
the following schedule to prepare your bowel for a
colonoscopy:
Colon
Hydrotherapy Session 1: 7 days prior to exam
Colon
Hydrotherapy Session 2: 24 hours prior to exam
Colon
Hydrotherapy Session 3: morning prior to the exam
Diet
should be as follows:
Eat
a fruit, steamed vegetable and/or liquid diet 4 days prior to exam. Foods that
leave residue in the body such as meat, cheese and refined carbs (bread,
crackers, pasta, etc) should be avoided. Drink purified water; do not drink soda
or other carbonated beverages, added gas will only make it
more uncomfortable.
