I had a EGD and colonoscopy today,
I got an EGD and colonoscopy today. My Barrett's Esophagus is now gone. Low acid diet does work. I did however have gastric ulcer's which the Dr. told me back on the PPI's. I drank a gallon of prep juice along wit 2 ducolax pills and fasted for 2 days and my colon was not cleaned out! I need to get a modified prep next time(1year). So it's PPI's or ulcers, so I'm back on them. Im happy the BE is gone.

Very good news!!!! Nice to read positive stories here, thank you for sharing Rifleman!!!
I too was so pleased to post that I once again (2nd time around) beat cancer (last time was the esophagus and they removed it, this time the throat right next to the larynx).
Lets live the dream,
Lori

3 ReactionsHey rifle, check with your GI Dr. There is a colonoscopy prep that involves taking four Dulcolax bisacodyl tablets and a LOT of gatorade mixed with miralax. I don't remember the exact proportions, so see if your GI Dr. has any ideas. All the best. And I know how you feel. I had a colonoscopy report come back inconclusive because of poor prep. I didn't think it was possible……. I had to do it all over
Hope this helps. good luck.

1 ReactionGlad you beat the cancer! That must of been really tough to go thru what you did! I had my H Pyloiri come back negative, still waiting on other biopsies he took to come back.
I’ll ask my Dr. If I can try those tablets. Sounds better that drinking a gallon of that prep.
Wow, that had to be hard. I had mine done on separate dates and the colonoscopy was the hardest to recover from. And I've had them done in the past, but they never affected me this way before. I was feeling sick for 3 days. I guess it is my age.
Actually it was very easy to do both at the same time. I think it’s the anesthesia that makes you feel sick. I felt really drugged for 24 hours.
