No, the doctor will not give him Gatorade for preparing for a colonoscopy. At the visit before the colonoscopy, he will be given very specific directions as to what to eat and drink the days and night before. If he follows those, he should be fine after the procedure. Usually clear liquids are recommended, and Gatorade has coloring.

What is BNP?

BNP, or B-type natriuretic peptide,is a blood test that helps determine if someone is suffering from Congestive Heart Failure, and if so, how advanced it is. BNP is released by the left ventricle in the heart, which is the most muscular part of the heart that pumps blood to the rest of the body. A small amount of BNP is normal for anyone, but a high level of it suggests that the heart muscle is weakened and stretched. This can be a sign of congestive heart failure. Usually the higher the level of BNP, the more difficult it is for the heart to meet the body's demands. This test is often done if a patient is showing signs of congestive heart failure, such as shortness of breath when lying flat or walking, swelling in the legs or body, abnormal heart sounds, or fluid in the lungs.

Is pain medication normally approved for the recovery time after a colonoscopy?

Colonoscopy is done under light sedation. You will be able to hear your doctor and move as he instructs, but you will not remember because the sedation causes a short period of amnesia. You will also not remember any discomfort you feel during the test. Within a very short time, the sedation wears off. The MOST you might feel after a colonoscopy is a little more gassy. But you will not have pain or aftereffects from the colonoscopy. Someone will need to drive you home as a precaution since you just had a med in your system.
