I don't think you should be clearing it out unless there is a good medical reason.

I think the fact that it's like Threaded is a good enough reason.
(Full of sh!t.)

It is worth taking Fleet just to have a good ol' clearout?

I had a mate who was pushing the benefits of a good clear out, 'it gets rid of all the old chewing gum' etc etc and various other bollards. Your bowel is full of stuff for a reason, I don't think you should be clearing it out unless there is a good medical reason.

using the medicine called fleet as given by hospital...

most of it is out now, just gritty bits left! Both on same day, at least this time I know what to expect... I was expecting to be put under when it came to throat, and I started panicking when he just said 'when I tell you, swallow' then he rammed the camera in!!

Woudl it involve taking a couple of days off work and just sitting at home and running to the toilet when needed?


I also had an endoscopy a few months back... one of the worst experiences but fortunately also very short.

camera investigation tomorrow. Top and bottom

Uh-ho! Something stuck? It's amazing what can 'pop up' when you sit down sharpish in a loose fitting dressing gown!

[scooby]

Trust me, everything comes out...

using the medicine called fleet as given by hospital... Definately not fun!

Did all the old chewing gum come out ?

I had some pethidine a few weeks ago. It was rather pleasant.

I recall reading somewhere of a guy who took the bowel cleansing pill a day too early. So they had to reschedule his appointment to the following week. So he had to take another dose...

[G8_Summit]

Hope they do the top first - or else make sure they wash the camera well

[cailin maith]

When I read the title of this thread..... I was sure it was Zeitys post

[DiscoStu]

Yes I know what pethedine is...

I meant that I thought they used a quick acting version of valium...

Ah, well I'll have some of that too

[DiscoStu]

Yeah, man, I'll have some more of that please...

Though I thought it was a quick acting valium...

Not quite, it's a synthesised alternative to morphine

[DiscoStu]

pethadine

I agree that it's lovely stuff

I must concur

[oracleslave]

'pethidine'

I agree that it's lovely stuff

[gingerjedi]

Joking aside I've had both but not on the same day, top is worse than bottom as they only numb your throat which helps but you cant help but gag.

With the bottom you should get 'pethidine' which makes 1 hour seem like 5 minutes.
