Hi,
I take Pico Salax - a bowel prep medication used by adults and children to clean the colon before a colonoscopy, x-ray examination, or surgery - as recommended by my doctor, before I have a colonoscopy – every five years. It is usually taken in two doses and works wonderfully. It is not meant to be taken regularly and can be purchased over-the-counter for about $35. Just, K.

Geekyjen,
Thanks for the reply. I will be seeing my doctor on Friday and mention Entyvio. I did not remain paralyzed for more than 2 days, but it was terrible and I was so scared. The doctors just used alot of xanax and other drugs like that to UN paralyze my joints that were being attacked by the remicade. Turns out I have been diagnosed with LUPUS. It is attacking my nervous system. I had ulcerative colitis in 1996 and they had to remove my colon. Had a J pouch for 10 years, until it started failing. I then got a permanent iliosomy, and I suffer from severe chronic diareha, and I dehydrate frequently. I recently had a proctectomy, and that is when the new autoimmune disorder, Lupus, appeared. I have had two hospital stays now because of the blisters and the paralyzing incident. I will be dealing with this forever now. I have just been working on acceptance.
I love this website because of wonderful people like you!

Before I had my ileostomy one year ago I used Pico Salax as a preparation for a colonoscopy but I wondered if anyone has used this product since having an ileostomy.

In addition to your pouching system, you may require the use of an ostomy accessory to enhance the performance of your system.

Hi tin,
Never used that one, but they are all pretty nasty to your bowels. I guess bowel prep for an ileostomate would be determined by how much small bowel you have left. Being a short-gutter I never have to prep.......just wait a few hours after eating. So the poison they make you drink and the amount of it is most likely determined by how much sewer pipe needs to be purged.
regards,
bob
