My main concern is the the dumb bowel cleanse. I've been reading on it.
Some of them are in the "What the..." category <g>
and some people actually get addicted to them? wow!!I just don't want to do anything that'll destroy the mucous membrane!..they talk about sloughing it off the plaque with the chemical mix..
the mixes you drink orally include the ones below I've found so far..
like I'm not taking aspartame or saccarahine and orage coloring etc.
I'm concerned about their effect on the mucus membrane?
And I really don't like the other type---------------------------
A study of the effect of Picolax on body weight, cardiovascular variables and haemoglobin concentration.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=1416702&dopt=Abstract
Barker P, Trotter T, Hanning C.University Department of Anaesthetics, Leicester General Hospital.
This study compared the effect of Picolax when administered for large bowel preparation in combination with preoperative fasting on body weight, haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit, and cardiovascular variables with matched subjects who were fasted before surgery. Picolax resulted in significantly greater weight loss, increases in haemoglobin concentration combined with cardiovascular changes suggesting hypovolaemia in the Picolax group. Intravenous fluid replacement is recommended in patients receiving Picolax.

Picolax ingredients
Picosulfate 10ng
MgO 3.5G
ciric acid 12g
potassium bicarbonate
Saccharin + ORANGE COLORING, FLavouring

Picoprep ingredients

36mg aspartame per sachet

Phosphate enema better than Picolax for bowel preparation, study finds
A single, self-administered phosphate enema is a more acceptable and more effective method of preparing the bowel for flexible sigmoidoscopy than oral Picolax, a study has found.Endoscopists assessed the quality of bowel preparation as excellent for 57 per cent of the enema group and 39 per cent of the Picolax group.
Mean visibility of the mucosa was also better with the enema, the researchers say
------------------------Kleen _Prep the worst
Kleen-Prep failed to achieve adequate preparation in 46%, due to excess fluid and POOR MUCOUSAL COATING. Kleen-Prep caused more patient nausea, abdominal bloating and pain than Picolax.

Like you don't want to take anything that strips too well..like a strong sugar soap for your gut!Any ideas?
