That way you won 't need to repeat the test. Let 's make this “one and done” together.  \ni | What ’s inside this Booklet?  \nYou’ve been scheduled for a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy can find cancer and save lives. This booklet will help you get ready. We know it can be challenging to get ready for a colonoscopy. We also know that you may have questions about the test. We created this booklet to help answer your questions. After you read this booklet, go to page 21 and complete the checklist as you prepare for your procedure.  \nThis booklet was developed by talking to people who had a colonoscopy. Researchers asked these people to explain what was confusing or difficult about getting ready for the test. The researchers then used this feedback to create this booklet, and tested the booklet in a study to see ifit could help people get ready for a colonoscopy. The study found that people who read the booklet were more likely to have a clean prep compared to those who did not get the booklet.  \nAbout Getting Ready  \nThe MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do is to empty out your colon by following the diet described in this booklet and taking the “bowel prep”medicine prescribed by your doctor. We want to help you get ready. If you come in with your colon properly emptied out, then we can make this “one and done” “One and done” means just that—let’s do this once, let’s do it right, and let’s be done with it. Then we won’t run the risk and inconvenience of having to come back and repeat the test.  \naBout this Booklet | 1  \nYour digestive system—made up of your mouth, food tube, stomach, bowels, and other organs—helps you break down and absorb food. The last part of your bowels, the large intestine (or the colon), is a hollow tube that helps you absorb water and pass stool and other wastes from your body.  \nYour colon, like other parts of your body, can get cancer. There is no single cause for colon cancer, but nearly all colon cancers begin as non-cancerous polyps. A polyp is a small growth on the surface of your colon that can turn into cancer. Removing polyps may prevent you from getting colon cancer. If polyps have already become cancerous, catching them early increases your chance of surviving or being cured of colon cancer.  \n2 | aBout Your insides  \nOne out of every 16 Americans will get colon cancer. Most people survive colon cancer if it is caught early, and only 5 percent of people survive colon cancer if it is caught late.  \nYou may be at higher risk for colon cancer if:  \n• You are older than 45-50  \n• You have had polyps before  \n• Someone in your family has had polyps  \n• You have a family history of colon cancer or polyps  \nYou may also be more likely to get colon polyps if you:  \n• Eat a lot of fatty foods  \n• Smoke  \n• Drink alcohol  \n• Do not exercise  \n• Weigh too much  \nPlease talk to your doctor about how you can reduce your risk for colon cancer.  \naBout Colon CanCer | 3  \nThe purpose of a colonoscopy is to look inside your colon for polyps, cancers, ulcers, and other conditions. It is important to get a colonoscopy to test for colon cancer once you are 45-50 years of age or older since the disease usually has no symptoms.  \nJust before the procedure start","cbCaipi70fpHZaAL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipi70fpHZaAL","pdf",3842326,28,"English","# Preparing for Your Colonoscopy\n## About This Booklet\n## About Your Insides\n## About Colon Cancer\n## How Does a Colonoscopy Work?\n## Why is it Important to Get Cleaned Inside?\n## ONE DAY before Your Colonoscopy\n## DAY of Your Colonoscopy\n## FAQs about Your Meds\n## What Is a “Clear Liquid?”\n## What Drinks Are OK?\n## What Drinks Are NOT OK?\n## What Foods Are OK?\n## What Foods Are NOT OK?\n## Is My Prep Working?\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n## My Colonoscopy Checklist","[{\"question\":\"Why is it important to empty your colon before a colonoscopy?\",\"answer\":\"Your doctor needs a clear view to find polyps, cancer, or other conditions.
