Interventions Whether transabdominal ultrasound can accurately assess bowel preparation quality will be determined with our other observational trial (PAUSE). This part of the trial (RCT) will have two groups of patients scheduled for colonoscopies (who have followed their written and verbal standard bowel preparation instructions): 1)those that will go ahead with their colonoscopies without ultrasound assessment (control) and 2) those that will have transabdominal ultrasound assessment (30minutes prior to their colonoscopy, a focused transabdominal ultrasound to assess bowel preparation quality will be performed) and If needed (poor or inadequate bowel preparation as per their ultrasound score- score 0, 1 or 2 - similar to Boston Bowel prep lower scores are worse prep) one extra bowel cleanse (small volume oral bowel cleanse (as per treating clinician discretion) such as Picoprep: Sodium picosulfate; Magnesium oxide; Citric acid) will be had right away and 4 hours later the colonoscopy (intervention).
