Mike, I don't know about the Fleet--> flu connection, but I have read that it's important to eat yogurt after any intestional cleansing (even after a bout of diarrhea), in order to help restore the "good" bacteria.

Since the prep is the worst part of the procedure, it's a shame that you'll have to do it twice. I don't mind the cleansing, which is just an annoyance, but I hate having to starve for a day. I've learned to schedule them in the morning because the fasting is easier. The procedure itself is fascinating to watch (they give you great drugs so there's no pain or anxiety).

The other thing about the prep is that there are two kinds: one with lots of liquid to drink and the other with very little volume. The latter is far preferable; often, people who have to drink the high-volume stuff feel nauseous. On the other hand, the low volume stuff doesn't taste great but it's over quickly. I don't know why doctors don't always request the low-volume prep.

As you can tell, I've done this several times. I hope that you have a good result!
