Natural Preparation Ideas for Colonoscopy

[Guest guest]

I have a patient that is interested in ideas for natural ways to prepare for

a colonoscopy. She is supposed to take raglan, dulcolax, and a fleets. Any

ideas?

 

Thanks

Hi Julie,

 

I wish I had ideas for this last week, when I was preparing for my colonoscopy!

My doctor prescribed some chemical liquid that tastes toxic and was very hard to

keep down. Now, a week later, I can still taste the stuff when I cough - if I

had any doubts about the lung and large intestine being connected before, I

certainly wouldn't now!

 

The challenge with taking herbal alternatives, is that they are unfortunately

not clear, like the preparatory formulas are. Any possible darkening or

staining of the colon by the herbs could possibly cause a misdiagnosis. Good

question, though. I'd like to hear any options.
