I can only imagine how uncomfortable an exam must be, so I would assume they would use lubrication to make it more bearable.

    Drugs don’t work on me anymore (genetic hyper metabolizer of most drugs). I just watch on the monitor. It’s pretty interesting once you get over having a tube wiggled around your colon.

    I have had 15-20 over the past 15 years. The worst part is the prep. 🤮

      I used to work in a pharmacy, and one of the techs I worked with would always joke, to be fair, she was a real good tech, but she would say “hope everything comes out okay!” As they walked away with their giant jug of prep.

      She was a queen

      yeah my bad experience im not sure how much was effects of the prep vs probe. I do know the doctor did not mention anything and when I called back in pain it was very no challant no big deal with the response. I sorta have a negative view of gastros now.
