Have them knock you out, it my advice. I had one with no pain meds and wide awake, and boy was it the worst... You know? This isn't helping. My advice is that if you're IBS-D you will feel the after effects of the prep for a good 3 days afterward, so take some time off. Ask to get knocked out for the exam. Also, ask your doc for an after-care Rx, any good narcotic analgesic (percoset, codeine, vicodin)which you can use to stop the pain and spasms of the after-effects of the exam.
Scan the message boards for prep ideas. I have used hardcore laxatives + Fleet enema in the past. It was really overkill, and there are some other better other ideas out there for prep.
We've been there, and it's not the end of the world. Post back--
