OT: Best flavor for Colonoscopy prep-solution?

[Desnik]

I have to have my second one pretty soon because of a small mass they found on a CT scan recently (fingers crossed that it's nothing scary!).
I will be BEGGING for the pills! I got so sick from the liquid that I was vomiting for about 5 hours straight ~ I will never go through that again.

The pills aren't any better, trust me.

Funny this subject comes up as I just had my 3rd colonoscopy a week ago. I was given a prescription for Suprep, which involves a bit less fluid to drink than the Golytely stuff. It's 16 oz. of cherry flavored stuff, not too salty, and you have to drink 2 more 16 oz glasses of water in the next hour. This stuff took about 17 minutes to "hit bottom", compared to the 3 hours my last Fleet prep took. You're supposed to repeat the same about 10 hours later, but at that point it was 2AM so I drank 1/2 the Suprep, followed with about 16 oz of water as I figured I was already pretty cleaned out. It was more than enough as my colonoscopy went just great - aren't those drugs just wonderful! Mine was followed with Zofran so no fear of being nauseous afterwards.

I hope i never have to experience that stuff as i doubt i could get it down. I failed trying to drink the sweet stuff for gestational diabetes as well as could not drink that chalky stuff for a upper gi scan.............my gag reflux is just to great and it comes right back up................

What do they do if you cant get enough of it in your system???

Wow, I thought I remembered this from a couple years ago.

My doctor suggested an entire bottle of Miralax. Best deal ever!!

Yep mine too. Just mixed it in a big bottle of Gatorade

Not all doctors use this prep.

Probably should create a poll, but will try this first......what flavor is best to use so you can't taste the lovely prep-solution for a colonoscopy ?????

Choices are: Pineapple, Orange, Lemon-Lime, and Cherry.

TIA

Lemon lime is my preference, but trust me any flavor makes me want to hurl after a little bit - LOL

I certainly tried, but my doc said no.

I did orange... and it was terrible. I LOVE orange... still, terrible.

I just had bowel surgery, no prep, but I did have to deal with the heatwave in the Southern Hemisphere. What helped me there was a peri bottle to clean myself with. I'd fill it with warm water and it was the next best thing to a sitz bath or a bidet.
