This is an I-Heart podcast.

All right. So I'm laying in bed now. I'm doing my first podcast in bed because I had a colonoscopy today. And I don't know why I make everything into something that's funny because what else are we supposed to do? So last night, no one talks about colonoscopies. I've decided that I name should be starting with a C, which we all know what we could name me.

But because caviar, Chanel, chicken salad, candy, my assistant Mia just pointed out that I'm the queen of the season.

And now colonoscopy is another C.

Because I don't know why I felt that it was a good idea to post a fit check for my colonoscopy. But it ended up being a good way to say to people, you know what? Colon health is important. We get mammograms. Like your colon is very important. It's literally where all of, wow, my phone keeps, I'm a disaster in case anyone is listening to this podcast,

so we might keep the shit in just so you know what a shit show I am.

But it's important to think about your colon health, and they tell you how often you have to get them.

There's a schedule. I'd gotten them in my 30s because I have had chronic constipation my whole life.

And in my 30s, they told me I had a long and torturous colonoscopy.

It's like a roller coaster.

And that's why I had digestion issues.

Now I take these gummies, these groan's gummies that I have that are in a little packet that the brand sent them to me to try. And I first thought it's just gummies in a packet. And they dose differently, meaning so you have to take eight. And I've been taking them. and I first thought, great, I'm taking my vitamins.

But then I was like thinking my digestion was like I was attributing it to something else. And then I realized it's these gummies. And that's not even their main like claim. Like they don't talk about that. It's on the back, but it's like that's a headline for me. So anyway, and that got verified, because today

when I got my colonoscopy, I'll tell you what they said. But so, all right. So the prep is something that most people don't talk about. If you know, if you've had it done, you know, but if you haven't had it done, you don't. I just learned in the comments that you could take pills to do this. but basically the day before the colonoscopy, you can only drink clear liquids.

And that

means like you could do like they say crystal light lemonade or clear gatorade. Italian I says I got the

liquid IV grape flavor, hydration packets.

And I think they had a lemon lime because it comes out pretty clear.

I did, you can do apple juice.

I drank a little apple juice yesterday.

I did some like ginger kombucha because it was like an almost clear color.

I did, it's important because they don't give you all these options.
