Thanks
I think everything is ok. Despite having my issues for years (and assuming that I had lactose intolerance and IBS), I had my first consult with a GI doctor a couple weeks ago. Based on my reported symptoms, he's 99% sure I have IBS, but he wanted to do the scopes to ensure I didn't have any other issues. It hasn't been a fun evening and I think I only had about 3 hours of sleep. I'm super hungry since I couldn't eat anything yesterday and I will say that the dulcolax and gatorade + miralax prep really works. I'm not sure how many of yall have had this procedure done but I've heard people used to be prescribed something called golytely which tastes like poop. The miralax + gatorade mix seems to work well since you can't taste anything but the gatorade and you only have to drink 64 oz rather than an entire gallon. It still sucked having to drink it within 2 hours though. I felt like throwing up :/
Anyway, the procedure is in about 3.5 hours, so hopefully all goes well and then I can eat a burger or tacos or something
