1) Mick seems to have an awful dandruff problem ...
2) Mick's facial expression is very apropriate for this thread, it's the face of someone having an unlubricated colonoscope shoved up his bottom without warning...
3) Sherat: do some also say how many pounds of crap the average American carries around in his skull??? (pun not intended)!
4) Hope all goes well with your colonoscopy! |

Well, the average brain weighs about 3 lbs. Since "they" say that "we" only use 10% of our brains, let's say the average American only uses 8%.
That would mean that roughly 2.76 lbs of the average American brain is crap.

SheRat, I also had a colonoscopy after that. I wasn't able to drink that colite stuff (aka "go-lightly") so they had to clear me out first. While this stuff is somewhat gross, it's good that we're helping Max deal with his upcoming procedure. |

I believe so.
I am a firm believer in breaking such repressive and unhealthy taboos.
Is the brand name for colite "go-lightly"? I am interested in the ingredients. I guess you'd have to stay home the day before the colonoscopy.
If it's so gross, how come you got away with not drinking it, but it seems like everyone else tolerated it?

I think mine was unflavored & I did drink about a quart of it & then I just couldn't do it anymore. I called a nurse I know & was told just don't worry about it. You can't eat for at least 12 hours(probably more) before the operation & there's no going anywhere. I remember after the operation I couldn't drive myself but I just needed a ride as opposed to an ambulance. |

Are they also going to check anything else while you are having
this colonoscopy? Hope everything turns out well and healthy.

glencar, you basically had colonic irrigation. Some say that the average American carries about 10 lbs of crap (pun intended) around in their lower intestines.
So, Maxy, after you drink the colite, maybe you'll weigh even less!
I find it interesting as well, since it is part of my job. glencar must have had a Barium Enema, followed by an Upper GI.

I just wanted to say hello to everyone,and that I find this thread gross. I will still be thinking of you Macky! I'm sure you'll be fine,and will no doubt have the hottest nurse on the floor performing the,uh,...mmmm,...rootering for you. You should call ahead of time and specify blond,brunett,red head,asian,etc. I would also suggest a fine bottle of wine and some scented candles.
I'm 42 does that mean that I need this procedure? Please say no.

Well, I can only say that this thread made me realise there is a God after all......
Us girls have to master the art of swallowing semen, unless you are a lesbian or specifically prefer to belong to the group called "spitters" , and most of us are used to the odd gagging feeling, and as to the taste, what can I say????......I guess it depends on the diet of the male and all sorts of different metabolic factors, the taste is never uniform, but let's say that I would never go into an ice-cream parlour and excitedly exclaim "Three scoops of cum flavour, please!" So, if boys have to drink yucky contrast medium, is that God's way of adressing the imbalance???
On a more serious note: yes, all those contrast media and the substances to empty your small and large intestine taste like absolute shite, but there is always the possibility of having a thin, soft nasogastric tube put in through your nose, which you have to actively swallow and which goes straight past any taste-sensitive structures, so they could squirt in the stuff through the tube without causing any nauseous feeling..... Not a very pleasant sensation, I had it done before an appendectomy, but personally I'd prefer it to drinking that stuff....But perhaps that's only an option in Europe, as in America there is this constant worry by medics about litigation???? |

For a few weeks I've had watery, dark stool and a terrible noise coming from my abdomen. At times, I can hear liquid trickling down into what must be a puddle of bile. WTF???
I have lost 27 pounds and I'm starting to look like my old self again.
It would be just my luck to look great for the coffin!
I've always considered you a friend, Josh. Just know that. Unlike that scumbag you hang around with here. I used to love our Saturday morning AOL chats...
All my best,

___________________________________________________________________________
Maxy,
Watery Dark stool does not mean cancer or growths. It coulld be a number of things from a virus to diet, allergies, etc. Good move by getting yourself checked out though.
Even if it is cancer. Cancer is by no means a death sentence these days. The success rate has been going up and up with cancer detections in the past 10 years.
Do not worry over anything that hasn't been said yet. Go to your Doc and see what it may be. I worked at a hospital for 10 years. So I seen it all. It is not always cancer guy. and when it is it is not always the worst. My buddy was having problems a few montha ago and now it is gone. It was a small tear that healed on it's own. Just go do what you gotta do. If. I say IF very strongly it points to something or is not resolved get to a good doctor that knows his stuff on these issues.
Ian

I had it done two weeks ago, I scheduled it for a Moonday, spent all day Sunday evening in the toilet, got a lot of reading done. This is the 2nd time for me,so I knew what to excpect, they knock you out and you wake up about an hour later and don't know what happened. You are a little spacy for awhile,someone has to drive you, we went to breakfast then I went home and fell asleep on the sofa. I don't have to go back for 10 years. The last time they found a few spots which they removed. Good luck..... |

Wow! What a thread! Gross? Maybe a little but,
hey!, as a professional nurse all I can say is
it's TRUE! SHIT HAPPENS!
Spelling is everything when it comes to meds.
Here's some info. for the thread:
Some commonly used brand names are:
In the U.S.?
Co-Lav
Colovage
Colyte
Colyte-flavored
Colyte with Flavor Packs
Go-Evac
GoLYTELY
NuLYTELY
NuLYTELY, Cherry Flavor
OCL
In Canada?
Colyte
GoLYTELY
Klean-Prep
Peglyte
PEG-3350 & Electrolytes
The polyethylene glycol (pol-ee-ETH-i-leen GLYE-col) (PEG) and electrolytes solution is used to clean the colon (large bowel or lower intestine) before certain tests or surgery of the colon. The PEG-electrolyte solution is usually taken by mouth. However, sometimes it is given in the hospital through a nasogastric tube (a tube inserted through the nose).
What is polyethylene glycol?
PEG is a solution that stays within the intestinal tract. It is not absorbed. It acts to keep fluid in the gut, thereby flushing and cleansing it. The solution is primarily sodium sulfate which acts to keep the sodium from being absorbed. Therefore, people on sodium restricted diets can use this product.
What is it used for?
PEG is used to cleanse the lower GI tract prior to colonoscopy (an endoscopic exam of the colon) and barium enema. It has also been used in modified form for severe, hard to manage constipation and, in children, when excessive iron medicine overdose has occurred.

Dear Gazza: Not entirely sure what it's like in Northern Ireland, but here in England girls are divided into two different t-shirt groups, the ones that read "spitters" and the ones that read "swallowers". I don't think you HAVE to master the art, but I guess if you expect reciprocity in sex, then you may as well....
However, and as far as I'm aware of, I don't think that fellatio is part of the english national school curriculum. Yet. Is it different in Northern Ireland?????
PS: if I'd known about the totally surreal threads on this board any earlier, I would have fled the climate of political correctness and mindless censorship on IORR years ago!.....
