Popis: Breath hydrogen and methane concentrations were normal before morning colonoscopy in 72 ambulatory patients randomly assigned to Ensure or clear liquid diet preparation for 48 hours. Mechanical bowel preparation was equal with each diet using an evening-laxative and morning-enema regimen and with Ensure using two consecutive evenings of laxatives without enemas. Ensure is an explosion-safe, mechanically acceptable, nutritionally adequate method of colonoscopy preparation. With a suitable laxative, Ensure eliminates the need for enemas in colonoscopy preparation.
