Colon Hydrotherapy is indicated before colonoscopy, barium xray, and sigmoidoscopy. Hospitals and doctor's offices are using colon hydrotherapy more frequently to cleanse the bowel before colonoscopy for efficacy and comfort. Consider a series of 3 before your next bowel diagnostic and use it as a time to cleanse. Here are 2 protocols to choose from.
Two Colon Hydrotherapy Schedules to Prep for Colonoscopy
Schedule One
Colon Hydrotherapy Session 1 is 2 days prior to exam.
Colon Hydrotherapy Session 2 is 1 day prior to exam.
Colon Hydrotherapy Session 3 is the morning or afternoon of the exam.
Schedule Two
Colon Hydrotherapy Session 1 is 7 days prior to exam
Colon Hydrotherapy Session 2 is 3 days prior to exam
Colon Hydrotherapy Session 3 is the afternoon/evening prior to the exam
The preferred diet is all clear liquids 4 days prior to exam. Bone and vegetable broths, water, lemon water and coconut water are ideal clear liquids and are least likely to generate significant fecal matter or intestinal residue. The purpose of clear liquids is to avoid staining the colon walls a different or darker color that would prevent clear seeing of the colonoscopy camera.
