Why would you drink two bottles of that before a colonoscopy?!
Can't tell if you're joking, but you have to. The doctor prescribes it, and it cleans everything out of your system. By the end, you're just crapping out the lemon drink itself and you're squeaky clean for the camera
Oh shit, didn't know that. Luckily I've never had a colonoscopy! Thanks for explaining!
Your colon is like a road:
Would you rather drive down a smooth, well maintained, Clean road or a muddy mess that's never seen a cleanup crew?
You don't technically have to, but I think whoever is driving the colonoscope might refuse to work in those conditions.
It's not about the driver experience, it's about the road inspection. If the patient has a pre-cancerous polyp the inspector sees, they will cut it out, problem averted. If the patient has a pre-cancerous polyp obscured by stool, it gets missed and then in a few years turns to cancer. And survival rates for colon cancer are depressingly low.
I think he's mistaking it for magnesium citrate. It pulls water into your intestines via osmosis and makes you squirt constantly.
She, and yes you're correct.
