I find the idea that my... 20-something?... feet of intestines are only satisfactorily clean after the pre-colonoscopy clear out, HIGHLY disconcerting.
What the **** is still in there that a couple days of clear liquid aren't doing the trick well enough for the Dr. to perform the procedure?
Whatever it is...I want it out. Goes far beyond the range of enemas.
Whoaaaaa, whoa, whoa.
Correct me if I'm wrong but you're talking about
waste. Waste is taken care of by the large intestine, made up of about six feet of different sections of colon. Generally the digestion and absorption of substances occurs in the small intestines, all the way to ileocecal valve (has about a half dozen other names, but whatever). So, yes, enemas wouldn't serve your needs cause they don't clean out the entire colon.
tl;dr Chyme turns to poop in the large intestine, the last ~6 feet. Chyme never passes on its own, because it's not poop.
