1 South of Tyne Bowel Cancer Screening Programme How to prepare for your colonoscopy using bowel preparation Type 2 diabetes management, oral diabetes medication (Morning appointment) December
2 Introduction You agreed to take part in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Programme. As part of the screening process you provided a stool sample for analysis in which traces of blood were found. A colonoscopy examination is now recommended to investigate your large bowel further. Colonoscopy - the inspection of the large bowel (colon) using a flexible camera (colonoscope). This leaflet tells you how to prepare for your colonoscopy using two types of laxative. These come as two sachets and six tablets. The laxatives will work together to cleanse your bowel. You must also follow a special diet set out in the leaflet. The diet includes taking special drinks; these are a complete diet in liquid form and need to be taken at the appointed times. What is the bowel preparation? The two sachets contain a sugar free powder, this is a strong laxative. The tablets are Senna tablets, you will need to take 6 of these, they are also a laxative. Why do I need bowel preparation? The colonoscopy looks at the inside of the large bowel. To have a successful examination, the bowel must be empty and clean. If the bowel is not empty and clean, it is not possible to see it all adequately and this could mean the test needing to be repeated. Before taking bowel preparation Contact the Screening Practitioner (telephone number on back of leaflet) if you answer yes to any of the health questions and they were not discussed at your preassessment appointment. Are you allergic to any of the ingredients listed on the packets? Are you taking Warfarin or Clopidogrel tablets? Do you suffer from any kidney disease? Do you have congestive cardiac failure? When do I start to prepare for my colonoscopy? 7 days before your appointment Stop taking iron tablets Iron makes inside your bowel black, this makes it difficult to see everything. 2
3 4 days before your appointment Stop taking any medication that may cause you to be constipated, for example; Lomotil, Loperamide, Codeine Phosphate or Dihydrocodeine. Continue to take all other normal medications. 2 days before your appointment Stop taking Fybogel or any other fibre products The fibre content of these products will work against the special diet you are about to start. Start your special diet at breakfast Eat from the foods on the diet list unless you are allergic to, or have been advised to avoid certain foods. Do not eat any foods or have any drinks that are not on this diet list. No milk in any form Diet list Meat: Fish: Eggs: lean meat for example; chicken, turkey, beef, ham and rabbit white fish only (do not fry) boiled, poached or scrambled no milk to be used Vegetables: no vegetables other than potatoes, boiled or mashed only no milk to be used Cereals: Bread: Fats: Other: Drinks: white rice and pasta, boiled only no wholemeal varieties white bread and white bread rolls only a daily allowance of 25g (1oz) butter or margarine sugar free plain jelly, artificial sweeteners and salt black tea or coffee, sugar free fruit squash (not real fruit juice), sugar free fizzy drinks, marmite, oxo, Bovril, soda water, water, flavoured water, herbal/fruit teas Supplement drinks: Supplied at your pre assessment appointment 1 day before your appointment You are advised not to go to work on this day. You should expect frequent bowel motions within 3 hours of starting your bowel preparation. Some abdominal cramping is normal, stay within easy reach of the toilet. 3
4 If you monitor your blood glucose levels, increase the frequency, once bowel preparation laxatives are started. At 8am take 6 Senna tablets with plenty of water Have a light breakfast from the diet list and a supplement drink, sip this slowly (This will be your last meal, no more solid food until after your examination). Drink fluids regularly drink a glass of fluid, from the diet list, every hour throughout the day until bedtime. No alcohol. At 12 midday have a supplement drink (this should be sipped slowly). At 12 midday dissolve the contents of one sachet in a heatproof mug with 200ml (8 fluid oz) of cold water. Stir for 2 minutes and leave to stand for 30 minutes (the mixture may become hot and needs to cool). Once cooled drink the solution. At 5pm have a supplement drink (this should be sipped slowly) At 7pm dissolve the content of the second sachet of the bowel preparation using the instruction above. Once cooled drink the solution. Bedtime have a supplement drink If you feel unwell If at any time you feel; dizzy, sweaty or irritable (hypo) take: or or 2 teaspoons of sugar dissolved in warm water 3-4 glucose tablets 50ml of lucozade This should be followed by a starchy snack within 20 minutes to prevent hypoglycaemia. If you recover and feel your normal self, continue with the bowel preparation instructions. If you monitor your blood glucose levels increase frequency during preparation time. If you do not feel better almost immediately, contact your usual diabetic care provider. 4
5 What do I do on the morning of the colonoscopy Do not take your morning diabetic medication You are allowed to drink fluids, from the diet list, until 2 hours before your appointment. You may receive sedation during your colonoscopy examination, it is important that you stop drinking 2 hours before your appointment. Attend the Endoscopy Unit at your appointment time. Please inform the nursing staff on arrival if you are not passing clear liquid as you may require an enema prior to your examination. What can I expect of the bowel preparation? The bowel preparation can begin to work within 3 hours of taking it. You will open your bowels frequently and eventually your motions should change from soft to loose to watery. Stay close to a toilet all day as you will use it regularly. You may experience some abdominal cramp this is normal in some people. The skin around your bottom can become red and sore due to frequent diarrhoea. A barrier cream such as Vaseline or nappy rash preparations can protect the skin. The soreness is temporary and will disappear in a few days. Are there any side effects from bowel preparation? You may experience head aches, nausea and sometimes vomiting. Abdominal bloating can occur and, less frequently, abdominal cramps. Most side effects are due to dehydration and can be avoided by drinking adequate amounts of fluid. 5
