I haven't had a colon scope yet...but....the very next day after i had WLS, I had to drink 12 ozs of the barium stuff for the flouroscope test to check for leaks in my pouch. I had to drink it as fast as possible so they could watch it go down. Yep, it made me ***t for 2 days straight, but I didn't have pain or other problems. You'll recover from it fine. All the swallow stuff is made with lactulose......which is a type of artificial sweetener. They use them on diabetics all the time. Just let the tech know when you go in to pick up your jug of Go-lytely.
