Not worse then a flu bug? EXCUSE ME? That cleansing process was far worse then any flu or even food poisoning I've ever had!! But hay, it needs to be done so you have to man up and just do it.
I'm surprised AIRBRAKE that they did nothing for your internal hemis. That was my problem and the reason they went in was to make sure that was all it was. So when they got done scoping they went back in and took care of a couple very large hemis (the doc called mine the hemis of the month!) with rubber bands. I haven't had a problem since. I do take Walmart brand Equate of the national brand Fibercon pills and have been doing so since the procedure. I tried the various fiber drinks but they were all nasty.
