To prepare for a colonoscopy and thoroughly cleanse the colon it is best to have 2 sessions. One on the day before and one on the day of the appointment. Or alternative you can book in for double session on the day of the appointment. You don’t need a colonic after the colonoscopy.

For a colon xray you certainly want to book in after the procedure to remove air and barium liquid out of the colon as quickly as possible and avoid any constipation.
