    She will have to do a cleanising routine the day BEFORE her lower GI... same as for a colonoscopy.

    Except those aren't really enemas... because they work from the hole at the other end of the gi tract, the entry not the exit hole... basically induces a wicked case of the runs and you drink enough fluids to flush everything out. Rather unpleasent experience.
