KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Happy
Colon Foods announces its availability in Kansas City, MO through a new, ongoing
partnership with Consultants in Gastroenterology, a division of
Digestive Health Specialists. Happy Colon Foods is the only
standardized kit of low-residue foods for use when prepping for a
colonoscopy.
Happy Colon Foods was created and developed by Board Certified
Gastroenterologist, Jeff D. Scott,
M.D. With this method, patients eat small meals and snacks of
low-residue comfort foods throughout the day, and drink water
blended with tasteless laxatives and flavored drink mixes each time
they eat. Studies show that a low-residue diet, which is very easy
for the body to process, will yield equal or better colonoscopy
prep results than liquid preps. It also helps the body cleanse
itself without the unintended side effects of bloating, cramping,
nausea, and vomiting that often accompany traditional prep
methods.
"We are very excited to offer patients Happy Colon Foods," says
Dr. Tom Shireman, Board Certified
Gastroenterologist at Digestive Health Specialists. "Too many
screening colonoscopies were postponed last year and we hope the
opportunity to eat and avoid many of the unwanted side effects
accompanied with prep will motivate patients to schedule these
important procedures."
Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related
deaths in men and in women in the U.S., yet it is one of the few
cancers that is largely preventable with screening. Each year, over
10 million people in the U.S. do not get screened because of the
'dreaded' prep and its unpleasant side effects – not the procedure.
With a 98% rate of successful preps and demonstrated average Boston
Bowel Prep Score of 8, Happy Colon Foods is changing the way
patients prep for colonoscopies and working to make it a better
experience overall.
Happy Colon Foods can be used by anyone preparing for a
colonoscopy, and is particularly beneficial for patients who
struggle with, or cannot go without eating, such as aging patients
and diabetics.
"I'm delighted to work with the esteemed gastroenterologists at
Digestive Health Specialists, to provide their patients with a
different option that will help reduce and prevent the dread and
fear of prepping that causes too many patients to postpone, or not
schedule colonoscopies," says Dr. Jeff D.
Scott, Board Certified Gastroenterologist and creator of
Happy Colon Foods. "In creating Happy Colon Foods, my goal is to
have a major, positive impact on making it easier to get ready for
a colonoscopy, and to change how patients view the process in the
future."
With this new partnership, patients at Digestive Health
Specialists will now have the opportunity to choose Happy Colon
Foods when they need to prep for a colonoscopy.
