Picolax bowel prep

[Sooty712]

Hi hope all is well, I am currently in a mild flare up again due to change in weather temperatures as I seem to get flare-ups every autumn/winter and always fine in the summer is very strange. Anyway I am booked for a sigmoidoscopy in October and will be given Picolax just wondering how others were with it as gastro has said it's very mild but I have never had it before and getting very nervous about it plus nervous about the sigmoidoscopy as first time and I'm not having sedation either so I can get home sooner hopefully. Really hope it's painless and quick 🙏

I can't tolerate Moviprep and so had Picolax when I last had a colonoscopy. The hospital also issued a couple of Ex-Lax. There's nothing to be nervous about as it tastes very pleasant and it's only a cup full as opposed to 2 litres of Moviprep.
