It depends on the facility. Ive had 4 during the Covid times and no testing. But I needed emergency trauma surgery at a different facility and needed a test.I just had one. No covid test required.

I've done the split dose the last 3 colonoscopies I have had. Much better, easier. You'll do great. Enjoy that meal afterwards.I've never done the split dose before. And, yes, I did have to have a COVID test. Wish me luck!
Thanks. Oh yes, and I already feel weak!Good luck! The fasting is the worst part!
Thanks! I think I do see some advantages with the split dose. I just wish my arrival time wasn't at 11:15am.I've done the split dose the last 3 colonoscopies I have had. Much better, easier. You'll do great. Enjoy that meal afterwards.
This is great news! My daughter has Crohns and thankfully medicine has put her into remission, but knowing the pain she was in before that makes my heart ache for you. 4 years is a long time to live with that kind of pain.I had to come and share my fantastic news. My latest colonoscopy was on Friday and dr said that visually I look like I am in remission from Crohn's. We are still waiting for biopsies to come back clean but it has been a very long 4 years of being sick and trying medications so this news was very welcomed. Hopefully a year before my next colonoscopy!
Also, my easiest prep yet. Having these every 6-8 months has really let me dial in to what works for me with the least amount of torture. LOL
