Depending on your age, maybe it is time for another colonoscopy. That aside, you may want to revisit your diet to be sure that you are getting enough water and fiber. An apple a day really can help the situation, as can drinking a few (2-3) glasses of water. For most people, 5 servings (1/2 cup) of fruits, nuts and vegetables are recommended.

There is nothing about a colonoscopy that prevents a heart attack from happening; you can have one at any time. For some the procedure may elevate stress a bit. I have to say, without wanting to sound morbid, that if I should ever have a heart attack, I hope it is while I am having a colonoscopy or other hospital procedure. I would already be prepped for emergency treatment, and I would already be in the right place.

No, the doctor will not give him Gatorade for preparing for a colonoscopy.

Usually clear liquids are recommended, and Gatorade has coloring.
