And all that is BEFORE the procedure.

You may not get laxatives if they're going to give you an enema at the hospital. It's not a pleasant procedure but it doesn't hurt. It's quite interesting if you get to look at the screen.Don't worry lots of people have it done. Just a bit embarrassing.
Word of advice don't let the person taking you get lost on the way home! My daughter did and I ended up begging to use the loo in the dirtiest garage you ever saw!

Re: Please Help Me Get To The Bottom Of This!
I had a barium enema in 2003, Boosecruiser, for the same reason as you - blood in my faeces. It was uncomfortable rather than painful. They explained each step along the way and allowed me to watch the screen - which was surprisingly interesting. The worst bit - as others have said - is the wind afterward. They inflate the colon with air during the procedure so, naturally, this has to reappear at some point. 
I had severe abdominal cramps and could not possible have driven home - so do make sure Mrs B or someone is with you!Mine turned out to be nothing more sinister than a haemorrhoid high up the colon which had become infected. It was quite small so did not warrant surgery - just a more careful watch on my diet for a while.

But YES, please do what TessA says there.
It ain't the nicest job in the world, BUT, it could just save your life!
