It covers key risks, medicine changes to stop beforehand, and bowel preparation using PEGLyte plus Bisacodyl, including timing and expected stool changes. It also provides a fluid-diet plan, what to avoid (notably red/purple liquids and certain solid foods), and instructions for days leading up to the procedure.","GETTING READY FORA COLONOSCOPY  \nFor People Using PEGLyte + Bisacodyl  \nContact Information  \nFor questions about your appointment or bowel prep instructions call the Waterloo Wellington Coordinated Colonoscopy Access Program: 519-749-4300, extension 2974.  \nFor any medical questions or concerns before your colonoscopy call the doctor doing your test. This phone number can be found on your Colonoscopy Preparation Instructions sheet.  \nWhat is a Colonoscopy?  \nA colonoscopy is a test using a small, plastic tube with a tiny camera at the end. During this test a doctor (Endoscopist, Gastroenterologist, or General Surgeon) will put the tube into your colon to:  \n Collect tissue for testing (a biopsy)  \n Check for cancer in your colon or rectum  \n Look for areas of inflammation (your body’s response to infection or illness)  \n Look for causes of anemia (low red blood cells), abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood in your poop, or constipation  \nAscending Colon  \nRectum  \nAnus  \nImage of the large intestine and where it is found in your body.  \nTransverse Colon  \nDescending Colon  \nRisks of Having a Colonoscopy  \nThe medicine you take to clean out your bowels (intestines) raises your risk for:  \n Dehydration (losing more fluid than you are able to take in)  \n Falls (weakness, fainting)  \n Kidney problems  \n Changes to your blood work  \nWhen having a colonoscopy there is a chance of:  \n Bowel perforation (a hole in the colon)  \n Heart or lung problems from the sleeping drugs  \n Bleeding  \n Infection  \nThere is a low risk of having these health issues. If they happen, they will be treated by your healthcare team right away.  \n2  \nBefore Your Colonoscopy  \nStop Taking Some Medicines  \nThere are some medicines that must be stopped before you have your colonoscopy. The doctor (or healthcare team) doing your colonoscopy will tell you which medicine(s) to stop. For example, this could be diabetes medicine or blood thinners. If you do not hear from them 1 week before your colonoscopy appointment, call the doctors office.  \nClean Out Your Bowels  \nBefore you have your colonoscopy you will need to clean out your bowels. This is called “bowel prep”. You will be asked to take bowel medicines that work in different ways to make you poop.  \nSome bowel medicine (like stimulant laxatives) speeds up how fast poop moves through your body. Other bowel medicines (like osmotic laxatives) pull water into your bowels to soften your poop, making it easier to pass.  \nThese medicines will make you go to the toilet a lot and may cause cramping. It might take a few hours for the medicine to work. Sometimes you will have to go suddenly, so stay close to a toilet while taking these medicines. By the end of your bowel prep, your poop may look like a clear or yellow liquid.  \nIt is very important you follow your bowel prep closely. Your colonoscopy may be cancelled if your bowel prep is not done well.  \n For bowel prep you will betaking: PEGLyte and Bisacodyl   \nUse PEGLyte and Bisacodyl  \nRead and follow your Colonoscopy Preparation Instructions sheet.  \nThe cost of PEGLyte and Bisacodyl is usually covered for people over 65 years of age or for people on government financial assistance (e.g. Ontario Disability Support Program or Ontario Works) . If you do not have coverage you may need to pay out-ofpocket.  \n3  \nFollow a Fluid Diet  \nPart of your bowel prep includes changing your food and drinks for a short period of time. You can use this guide to follow a fluid diet before your colonoscopy. Refer back to your Colonoscopy Preparation Instructions to see when you should start your fluid diet.  \n\n| Fluids You\u003Cbr>CAN HAVE | | Foods & Fluids You\u003Cbr>CAN NOT HAVE |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  Clear broth or water with bouillon cubes added (vegetable, beef, chicken)\u003Cbr> Clear juice without any pulp ([e.g. apple](e.g. apple)[ ](e.g. apple)juice, orange juice without pulp, lemonade, limeade)\u003Cbr>Sports drinks (e.g. Gatorade or Powerade)\u003Cbr> Lemon or lime Jell-O or popsicles  Coffee o","cbCaicg7TNjGtuTa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicg7TNjGtuTa","pdf",1586751,"English","en",105,"# What is a Colonoscopy?\n# Risks of Having a Colonoscopy\n# Before Your Colonoscopy\n## Stop Taking Some Medicines\n## Clean Out Your Bowels (Bowel Prep)\n## Follow a Fluid Diet\n# During Your Colonoscopy\n# After Your Colonoscopy","[{\"question\":\"What is a colonoscopy and what does the doctor check for?\",\"answer\":\"A colonoscopy uses a small plastic tube with a tiny camera to be placed into the colon.
