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

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!

It starts 3’days ahead with clear liquid diet then the day before start the stuff I have to add a gallon of gator aide to. Then morning of test a soda bottle filled w/a mix that made me throw up - so whatever it was intended to do didn’t happen.
Now that I’ve thought about it - nope not doing that ever again.

I pointed out that my last two colonoscopies were only small non-cancerous polyps. Yet this week they found 3 precancerous ones, 2mm, 10mm and 12mm. Go figure. But if one has higher risk profile, there is never certainty. I suspect also that already having a different cancer is an added risk factor, because cancer also indicates a weaker immune system.
