Purpose
Study hypothesis The overall aim of this study is to compare two bowel preparations that are used prior to a colonoscopy procedure.
The principal research questions are:
- Does the use of a low residue diet increase patient concordance to the bowel preparation instructions?
- Does the use of a low residue diet decrease the adequacy of assessment of the mucosa?
- Does the use of a low residue diet increase the willingness of patients to undertake repeated examination as is required for disease follow−up?
- Does body weight affect perceived tolerability of either group?
