Bowel prep for colonoscopy -- keywords and MeSH

I'm posting this strategy because I don't want to have to start from scratch in the future.  It's a first attempt based on just a couple hours work.  In this case, I intended to err on the side of specificity rather than sensitivity; I wasn't working on a systematic review.  Most results retrieved are relevant, but some relevant results are almost certainly missed.

calcium-binding proteins - keywords and MeSH

The following strategy was composed for a routine search request (one weekday turn-around time).   It's nowhere near systematic review quality. However, I do not want to have to start over if asked to search for articles about calcium-binding proteins again in the future and so am posting my current strategy here.
