the large intestine endoscope

the examination itself wasn't really so bad.
the feeling was wired but it didn't hurt at all.
i got to see inside of my intestine on a screen and it was interesting.
the doctor said everything was fine with my intestine, which was a great relief.

but the process of emptying my intestine was awful.
i had to drink 2 litters of magnesium-containing laxative liquid in the two hours before the examination.
it was a lot and the drink must have been loaded with artificial sweeteners like sucralose and it was hard for me to drink.

and after the endoscope, i had to fight with a feeling of fullness in my abdomen
it was painful

it was one of my toughest experiences for me.
i do not want to go through this again :(
