Colonoscopy Preparation Support

If your doctor has referred you to Glow Colonics for bowel cleansing before a colonoscopy — welcome. This page is here to give you a clear sense of why preparation matters, how colon hydrotherapy can support the process, and what you can expect when you come in.

For a colonoscopy to be effective, the bowel needs to be completely clear. Even small amounts of residue can obscure your doctor’s view, which may mean the procedure takes longer or has to be repeated.

Most patients are prescribed oral prep, which can be a lot to get through. Some people still find it leaves them feeling less than fully cleansed. This is where colon hydrotherapy can complement the process.

Colon hydrotherapy works with warm, filtered water to gently rinse the bowel. Many patients find that combining oral prep with a few sessions makes the whole process feel easier and more thorough.

Your gastroenterologist will always guide your prep schedule, but in most cases:

• 2–3 sessions in the days before your procedure 
• A final session the day before or morning of the colonoscopy
  gives the best chance of a complete cleanse.
   

At Glow Colonics, we focus on making you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. Each session takes place in a private space with a self-inserted, single-use tube and a gentle, open-system design. Waste is released naturally and discreetly, while your therapist stays nearby for support.

Patients often tell us it feels far more comfortable than they imagined.

Colon hydrotherapy is safe when carried out professionally with sterile equipment. There are some situations where it isn’t recommended (such as recent abdominal surgery or active inflammatory bowel disease). If you’re unsure, it’s always best to check with your doctor first.
