Many patients find that soft toilet tissue, such as Charmin Plus, minimizes anal irritation from repeated wiping. For additional comfort, rub a small amount of hydrocortisone cream around the anal area to lessen the irritation.
For the rest of the evening before your test, DRINK ONLY CLEAR LIQUIDS TO KEEP YOURSELF WELL HYDRATED. Plan to remain within easy reach of toilet facilities. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited during this preparation. If you develop vomiting during the prep, temporarily stop for one hour and resume. If vomiting persists, stop the prep and call our office for instructions.
