I don't know what the stuff you're supposed to take tastes like, but mine was disgusting. I hope yours is better. It'd be great if you could take the pills instead!

They knock you out so you don't feel a thing. So don't be nervous. Once you're called in, the nurse gets you prepped, and explains to you what's going to happen.

You'll have a LOT of air in your intestines, so you'll be passing gas like crazy.

verall, it really is nothing to be nervous about. I had it done when I was 17 and I was so scared, but if I had to do it again, I don't think it would bother me at all.
