Help Ive just stupidly eaten a grape prior to colonoscopy!

[Somethingsosimple]

Due a colonoscopy on Tuesday afternoon. Started my beige diet of pasta and mashed potatoe. All fine until I chopped up some grapes for the kids and absentmindedly are one. Will it make a huge differnce? I’ve got to take Picolax tomorrow night and then 2 lots of Moviprep Tuesdays morning.

Nope .

Not at all.

One grape won’t make any difference, don’t worry. The pre-preparations will clear you out 😳!

Perhaps it might be worth mentioning to them because of the skin - just in case it gets stuck anywhere and they think it's something odd?
(I'm not a medical person though, so don't know the official answer).

The prep is pretty thorough, still, so hopefully that'll flush it out anyway! All the best!

Picolax and moviprep?.crikey eat what you want if youve to take all that! Good luck!

Thanks all. I’m so nervous anyway. @TARSCOUT it does seem a lot of prep but I’ve read it several times to double check!

It really does! Have you had them before? I will be honest sister and I have crohns so lots of colonoscopies and we've never had this much prep picolax is a doddle, moviprep not so much. Did they send it all in one letter?.

Apologies dr.google says it is a thing. Well well! Hope it goes ok!

Thank you. I have to have a polyp removed but scared they may find something else more worrying

There will be nothing left after the moviprep has purged your bowels!

Don’t worry they recognise a grape skin when they see one, and a tomato skin, and a sweet corn I used to be an endoscopy nurse. They can blast it out of the way with water if it’s in the way. Anyhow I expect it won’t even be there.

Hope all went well! Did you enjoy the Moviprep?

@missyB1 I have vision of them discussing whether its a red grape or rose or green … op your inside will be nice & shiny & clean

Did you enjoy the Moviprep?

enjoy and Moviprep are two words that should never appear in the same sentence .

I had a colonoscopy late last year ...and I accidently scoffed a couple of grapes when I was fasting ( damn those delicious little fruity varmints )

I cannot remember what prep I had but it was 2 x 1 litres . with the same amount of water .
I was nearly vomiting after the first lot , then had to go onto dose 2 . I ended up making it with less water , necking it in small glassfuls with my nose pinched then a big glass of plain water .

Innards were as clean as a whistle though
