My wife is scheduled for a lower gi. Will she get pre enemas the day of the test

Didn't the doctor tell her and maybe give her a list of instructions for prep?

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

YOu better hope she doesn't have that today or tomorrow because its already too late to start...

General and GI Surgery: Fleet Prep Kit #3 (48-Hour Prep)

It starts 2 days BEFORE the procedure... read the link I provided...

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.

Before my procedure, I had to drink a gallon of water into which I mixed a powder -- tasted like flat Gatorade.

The one I did tasted like Dishwater someone spilled a little gatorade into.

And the other type that uses a couple bottles of Magneseium Citrate and Ducolax tablets isn't a whole lot better...
