Effect of water pH on colonoscopy bowel prep
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether the pH (acidity) of water you drink during bowel preparation affects how clean your colon is for a colonoscopy. If you are preparing with standard laxatives, you may be asked to use water with a specific pH to see if it helps improve cleansing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You follow the full pre-colonoscopy diet as instructed
- You use the standard bowel prep from the clinic (Sennoside A+B and phosphate laxatives)
- You have not had any stomach, small intestine, large intestine, or major abdominal surgery
- You do not take prokinetic medications (drugs that speed up digestion)

This study looks at what factors might make it harder to clean out your bowel before a colonoscopy. Understanding these reasons could help doctors give better instructions and improve success rates.
This study looks at factors that affect how well the bowel is cleaned before a colonoscopy in people with IBD. The goal is to improve preparation so the colonoscopy can be more effective.
This study tests whether combining an electrolyte beverage (a drink with salts and minerals) with polyethylene glycol—a standard bowel-cleaning solution—helps prepare your colon better for colonoscopy. The goal is to see if this combination makes the preparation easier to tolerate while still cleaning your bowel effectively.
This trial tests a new colon-cleansing solution used before a colonoscopy to see if it improves how well doctors can see the colon. It may help make the exam more thorough and comfortable.
This trial tests whether using water that is tested for bacteria during a colonoscopy can reduce the risk of infection. It may help make the procedure safer for you.
This trial compares different ways to prepare your bowel on the same day as a colonoscopy. The goal is to find which method is easiest to complete and best cleans the colon, which can help make the procedure more effective.
