Don’t move from bathroom😱😱 extreme tum pain then evacuation from bowel like never before. But I’ve had four of these over nine years. Had dukes c , cancer. All ok, but colonoscopy I could do without.

I agree with Vacyone, do not move from the bathroom. Evacuation is very sudden, no warning and very violent. I had 2 colonoscopy's and the laxative was the worst bit lol
