Walmart sells MAGNESIUM CITRATE--costs about a buck a bottle. The cherry flavor, when it's really cold, isn't half-nauseating. I've used it the last couple times I've had a colonoscopy, and no complaints from the physician. Way cheaper than the Miralax product.
The first one I did, they prescribed this barrel-sized container that you had to fill with water and drink within a few hours. I felt like I was drowning. Never want to do that one again.
However you do it though, they're all better than cancer.

This is kinda silly, but anyone who knows me here knows colon cancer awareness is kinda my pet cause. It is so nice to see so many people getting colonoscopies.
Hmm. . . that's not a sentence I ever expected to write.

You mean Randy? He's fine. Well, his soul is. I can only hope he is floating through eternity inside some great ass in the sky.

Doctors swallow Lego heads to test how long they take to come out the other end
A team of six experts from the UK and Australia took part in the bizarre study over a two-week period
They were keen to see how dangerous the popular toy could be to kids – especially with Lego heads being so small, just 1cm x 1cm.
The team, including author Grace Leo, developed two tests – the Stool Hardness and Transit (SHAT) score and the Found and Retrieved Time (FART) score. . .

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Post-colonoscopy, Smith had a FaceTime conversation with his doctor who revealed the father-of-three had a pre-cancerous polyp removed, which was great news.
“95% of colon cancers arise from that type of polyp that was in your colon,” Dr. Stanford explained, saying they prevented a serious health scare. “We know that screening and early detection saves lives,” she added.

Orioles' Trey Mancini has malignant tumor removed from colon
The Baltimore Orioles announced Wednesday that outfielder Trey Mancini underwent successful surgery to remove a malignant tumor from his colon.
The tumor was discovered last week during a colonoscopy.
Lab results and the timetable for Mancini's recovery will not be known until next week.
"The outpouring of love and support I have received has made an extremely tough week so much better," Mancini said in a statement. "I have the best family, friends, fans, and teammates imaginable. I am also eternally thankful for the Orioles front office, our athletic trainers, and the entire medical staff for everything they have done to help me during this time. Finally, I would like to thank everyone for their prayers and kind words, which have furthered my excitement to get back to playing the game I love."
On Saturday, the Orioles announced Mancini had left the team to undergo what it called a "non-baseball medical procedure."

OK, I survived my colonoscopy this AM. It's probably a good thing that I had one too; the doctor said he found (and removed) 2 small polyps.
Bump: (If you are due for one) As reminder to schedule your colonoscopy.
