Ouch!

What preparation were there for the colonoscopy? I'm seeing the gastro doctor on Monday so I'm sure he'll tell me what's required.

Where was that, and what were the preparations for it?

Will do.

I'm arranging for a colonoscopy at Bangkok Pattaya hospital, just to be on the safe side, didn't realize it was so expensive, nearly 30,000 Baht!

You misread my comment. You were the one suggesting this was "my last hope" when in fact the constipation problem has only recently occurred, so my first port of call was here for members who suffered the same problem to comment. Obviously if the problem persisted, or if I was suffering some kind of other symptoms like bleeding etc, I would definitely seek professional help, but I really don't need someone to point out the obvious, like go see a doctor, it might be serious. I would hope that's not going to be your standard for all who seek advice here, or as I said may as well close this forum down and just leave a big, bold header. SEE A DOCTOR!

I guess we can close down this forum because advice here is worthless and we should see a doctor for any ailment, and no, not still constipated, but I'll have to wait and see if I can achieve regularity.

At 82 nothing works as well as it used to, and that includes bowels.

At 82 can't go running to the doctor every time I have an ache or pain, or in this case constipation. Otherwise I'd spend my days in a doctor's waiting room.

How do you take Sorbitol, as a liquid or powder?

Do you mean like the ones that are in jail now for defrauding clients? Self defence would be a much better option.

Yeah, I thought lawyers helping clients "cover their tracks" was par for the course. That and inventing fictitious defence motives.

Sad that you find something like that entertaining. It's what first timers to Thailand might do, but once is enough for most normal people.

Why would I need to pay an agent to make a phone call from Thailand?

I don't think it had anything to do with an argument, it was obstructing the driver who beeped at him. This can be typical of some Thai drivers who become incensed at the sound of a horn and have their fragile egos bruised.

You'll be there in the blink of an eye.

I gave up after 20 minutes and have read wait times can be in the hours.

Good luck in trying to get through, the wait times can be horrendous.

Milk of Magnesia, same thing.

I think the definition of a laxative is anything that helps move the bowels.

It's advertised as a laxative.

Posh Medica also sold at 7/11's. I found 1/2 the packet was more than enough for a major cleanout, in fact a couple of tablespoons would probably do the trick.

You missed the part about sensible replies?

Not sure why someone would find that funny.

I had it on a weeks free trial, but gave it way after it expired. Still prefer to download what I like and watch at my leisure.
