I was also told that I would need antibiotics when having a colonoscopy. When I had a colonoscopy two years ago(I had valve surgery 4 years ago)
my cardiologist said I needed to have the antibiotic one hour before surgery(an IV). The gastro doctor said they don't do antibiotics prior to colonscopies anymore. So I was in a pickle! I decided to go with the antibiotics but I am curious if anyone else ran in to this situation with colonoscopies. I'm afraid I may run in to this roadblock situation again in a couple of years when I have my next colonoscopy. I do have antibiotics when I go to the dentist for any kind of treatment.
