CT Scan tomorrow, just had first dose of the above, aniseed taste mixed with squash. I have heard such bad things about this stuff, so fingers crossed. x

Thank you for asking, strangely the Gastrografin which I was dreading was fine, didn't like the taste but had no bad affects, which I was surprised about after reading some of the comments! Have to wait for the results, and the colonoscopy is a week on Tuesday. One down, own to go. Apart from the worry, and feeling sick most of the time I don't feel too bad. Thank you so much for your support. Lovely folk on this website x

Try not to worry. Let me know when you get your results. I'm sure all will be fine.
