The purpose of this physician blinded, randomized study is to determine the utility, effectiveness, and feasibility of using colonic irrigation as a substitute for standard oral colonic purgative solutions for colonoscopy preparation. Patients will be randomized to receive either oral isosmotic solution (PEG) or colonic irrigation using the Hydro San Plus Colon therapy system, an FDA approved and isosmotic (ISO) certified device for colonic irrigation and cleansing before endoscopic procedures.
