The HyGIeaCare System is an FDA-cleared medical device that is used when medically indicated with a physician's prescription, such as before an endoscopic examination and for the relief of chronic constipation.
If you are interested in HyGIprep as an alternative to the traditional oral prep before a colonoscopy, you will need a referral from an Austin Gastro physician.
If you are interested in HyGIrelief for constipation relief, you will need a referral from an AG physician OR from your primary care provider for your first visit.

Simple, Same-day Bowel Prep For a Colonoscopy
Let’s face it, prepping for a colonoscopy is not fun for anyone. Being chained to your bathroom for two days can be inconvenient and exhausting. That’s why Austin Gastroenterology is pleased to offer an alternative bowel prep called HyGIprep, where patients can experience a simpler and easier colon cleansing prep using HyGIprep on the same day as their colonoscopy. Download the prep instructions here.
The HyGIeaCare Prep system has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to effectively clean the bowel using a gentle infusion of warm, gravity-flow filtered water. This method allows patients to forgo many of the elements that make traditional bowel prep inconvenient and uncomfortable. With no need to constantly run to the toilet, you can get a good night’s sleep and achieve excellent outcomes. Please ask your doctor about HyGIeaCare prep.
How Does It Work?
You will be given HyGIeaCare Prep instructions at the same time you schedule your colonoscopy. A few days prior to your scheduled visit you will receive a call to review the instructions. These may include taking some gentle laxatives and going on a clear liquid diet prior to your colonoscopy.
When you arrive for your prep, our trained Prep Tech will lead you to your private room and introduce you to the Prep System. Once you have been seated on the sanitized basin, the Prep tech will introduce a sterile disposable nozzle into the rectum. A gentle stream of warm water will flow into the bowel, loosening stool.
Water continues to flow, allowing you to comfortably and discreetly evacuate your colon. Your Prep Tech will determine when your colon has been fully cleaned. The process typically takes less than an hour. When complete, you will rinse, wipe, towel dry, and dress.
Most importantly, gastroenterologists have found that HyGIeaCare is highly effective in colon cleansing, allowing them to achieve excellent outcomes.
To schedule an appointment, call (512) 368-8357 today. HyGIeaCare Prep costs $245, payable at the time of your visit by a credit or debit card, or by your flexible savings account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) debit card.

Your doctor will first treat any underlying medical condition that is contributing to your constipation. To treat constipation, your doctor will recommend changing your diet and lifestyle. You should eat more fiber, fruits, and vegetables and drink water throughout the day. You should exercise every day and go to the bathroom as soon as you feel the need to have a bowel movement. For many, simply making these few changes in diet and habits will break chronic constipation. However, some just do not feel relief and their chronic constipation becomes a daily problem.
Your doctor may recommend an over-the-counter laxative or, if you have irritable bowel syndrome, order a prescription medication. HyGIrelief is also a very good alternative for constipation relief. Hygieacare, developed originally as a bowel prep before a colonoscopy, has been found to offer significant and lasting relief for patients struggling with chronic constipation.
Austin Gastroenterology features a state-of-the-art health treatment that can stop pain, pressure, and constipation in its tracks. The HyGIeaCare Center is located in Central Austin next to our AG offices on Shoal Creek Blvd., near Anderson Lane, helps to relieve chronic constipation in less than one hour. This non-invasive, painless procedure has no odor, and is an optimal choice for those who have tried other treatments such as laxatives, and have found no relief.
