Have any of you use pure magnesium citrate powder only for the prep?

If so what was your protocol and how did the whole prep and procedure go?

Stool test found occult blood in stool

24 year old male

Colonoscopy booked for this Thursday August 20th and I have never been more terrified in my entire life

I am worried something will go bad and I will either die or my life will change dramatically during the procedure for the worst and my life will essentially be over

The alternative is to NOT do it and cancel but then I may have colon cancer and not know it

It’s a double edged sword

Are they any alternatives?

I’ve read into colon capsule endoscopy is this an alternative if occult blood is found in stool?

Any advice would be appreciated

Because I am in Canada so if something goes wrong there is a super long wait for the emergency room and I may not make it

I have so much left to live for I’m not ready to go yet

Please and thank you for any responses
