Trying to recover from a c. diff infection (Clostridium difficile)

I’m undecided. I’m 74 and my last two colonoscopies have been normal - the one 5 yrs ago had 2 polyps but were benign. The one last year showed no polyps but did confirm dx of microscopic colitis. They said I could discontinue for purpose of screening for colon cancer. I hate the prep. I mean I really really hate it. So it will be a game time decision 🙂

Everyone hates the prep. It is a topic of conversation! But I found that the prep situation was "easier" this time. Before I recall they just said don't eat red meat. But this time they had me start a low fiber diet 7 days before with a one dose of Miralax. I think that kept too much from building up in colon. Two days before procedure only liquids with Ducolax added. Then night before 12 cups liquid and next morning 4 cups. The prep had a lemon flavor package with it so it really wasn't bad tasting. And my colon prep was scored with highest mark!
