When taking bowel preparation, we highly recommend staying near a toilet to prevent accidents. We strongly suggest you do not go to work when taking this laxative.  \nWhy do I need this preparation?  \nPlenvu bowel preparation is a bowel cleaning medication, which is used to clear the bowel so the doctor can examine it thoroughly. Please follow the instructions to achieve the best results. If the bowel is not properly prepared , the procedure may not be effective and may need to be repeated.  \nWhat will the preparation do?  \nThe preparation has a laxative effect and will make you empty your bowels. It is important you take all the preparation to ensure the bowel is clean before the examination.  \nAfter completing the bowel preparation, it is recommended you keep drinking clear fluids to prevent dehydration. If you feel light-headed, have a glucose drink, e.g. Lucozade / sport energy drinks or lemonade.  \nYou may experience stomach cramps and diarrhoea during the preparation; this is normal. If you experience severe stomach pains or vomiting, take the preparation more slowly until these feelings stop. If the symptoms continue , seek medical advice from your GP or contact the Pre-op Assessment.  \nAdult alcohol-free and fragrance-free wet wipes or soft toilet tissue may minimise the expected irritation from wiping your bottom. Also, applying petroleum jelly (Vaseline) before and after bowel movements may be helpful.  \nBefore your procedure:  \n• 3 to 4 days before, avoid eating foods high in fibre, such as pulses, vegetables, nuts and seeds or seeded breads.  \n• 5 days before , stop taking stool bulking agents, such as Fybogel or Laxido.  \n• 7 days before , stop taking iron tablets, such as Ferrous Sulphate or Ferrous Fumarate  \n• 3 to 4 days before, stop taking constipating agents, such as Loperamide or Codeine Phosphate.  \n• If you take blood thinning medications, please read the enclosed advice sheet and follow the instructions.  \nDietary advice before the procedure  \n• We advise that you only eat low fibre foods three or four days before the procedure. Low fibre foods include white meat, skinless chicken, grilled or poached fish, white bread, rice, pasta, boiled or mashed potatoes, cheese, eggs, tofu, butter, margarine, ice-cream, custard, natural plain yogurt or jam/marmalade without lumps.  \n• Avoid high fibre foods. High fibre foods includes red meat, sausages, pies, vegetables with skin, fruit or salad, nuts, seeds, pulses, including baked beans, puddings containing fruit or nuts, cakes and biscuits, wholemeal pasta, brown rice, brown bread and potato skins or chips. High fibre foods can clog the colonoscopy equipment and the procedure may not be completed successfully.  \nClear fluids  \nRemember, you can keep drinking until two hours before your colonoscopy. Clear fluids are non-cloudy or transparent, you can drink water, herbal tea, black tea or coffee with no milk, clear white soup, diluted cordials (not blackcurrant) and clear fruit juice (without pulp) etc. You can suck clear boiled sweets or mints.  \nTimetable for the preparation:  \nYou need to start preparing one day before your appointment.  \nPreparing your Plenvu (after 8am the day before your colonoscopy)  \n• Open the Plenvu carton and remove the Dose 1 sachet.  \n• Pour the contents of the Dose 1 sachet into a large container that can hold at least 500mls of fluid.  \n• Add water to make up to 500mls and stir until the powder has fully dissolved. This may take several minutes.  \n• Chilling the mixture in a refrigerator may make it taste better.  \nPlease follow the instructions below:  \n\n| The day before your appointment: |\n| --- |\n| • Before 8am: Eat a light low fibre breakfast (see above ) . Avoid nuts and seeded breads.\u003Cbr>• At 8am: Stop all solid fo","cbCaidpuJ2KRZ1XA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidpuJ2KRZ1XA","pdf",289770,"English","# Why do I need this preparation?\n## What will the preparation do?\n# After completing the bowel preparation\n## Possible side effects and what to do\n# Before your procedure\n## Dietary advice before the procedure\n## Clear fluids\n# Timetable for the preparation\n## Preparing your Plenvu (after 8am the day before)\n## The day of your appointment\n# Summary and contact information","[{\"question\":\"Why is Plenvu bowel preparation needed before a colonoscopy?\",\"answer\":\"Plenvu clears the bowel so the doctor can examine it thoroughly.
