As far as I know the fast today is the same as it ever was. Different doctors have different protocols though. One reason I have not done another colonoscapy is because of the prep but I want to find a doc that will do the prep with pills. My wife after he last is in agreement with me.
The fast is the same but the process of making you clear your intestines is so much better, you don’t have to keep drinking that stuff that makes you shit every hour. That helps with the dehydration and the total misery of it all.
The prep really isn’t that bad.. now.
yeah my wife just did it and it was keep drinking the stuff method. Again I do not different doctors use different things. also had the fasting. its still around and it still sucks.
