Having had three colonoscopies so far, my system for prep is to change what I eat at least the week before. Jello, ice pops. . . generally light stuff. At some point before I start drinking the beverage from hell, I get butt cream. Smear it on and then drink. Keeping a layer of diaper rash ointment on the tush helps a LOT.

I suggested to the pharmacists at my local pharmacy they should recommend butt cream when someone buys the prep stuff. Not sure if they do it, but all agreed it was a good idea.

+1 on low fiber diet 5-7 days before.

And although I didn’t try the diaper rash cream, Balneol was definitely a life saver.

Why can't you just fast the day before and then get an enema on the day ?
