colonoscopy prep...someone help

Hi Lawgirl,

prehaps you could put in some clear fruit juice such as apple juice to give it some taste? I did that with mine and it made it so much easier to take.

does anyone know why you have to drink the stuff and take the pills.

what i did.....although i had a different one to drink, golytely or halflytlely or something.....they're probably pretty similar......anyway.....what helped me get that crap down was to have many popsicles nearby, well one at a time of course otherwise they might melt.....just keep one in a bowl....lineup however many cups of nasty juice in front of you, think mine was 5 tall glasses worth, and just have at it, when you need to kill the flavor go for the popsicle, worked wonders for me, at least to get the stuff down, the after affects were another story...once it came on i spent the rest of the night in the bathroom with extreme diarrhea till i was on empty and then some........good times! lol

The pills are added insurance to make sure you're running clear, I've always been told to take them after I've finished my one small bottle of phospho-soda which is much easier and quicker to get down if you do it right (mixing 1/3 of the 45ml phospho into a full glass of cold clear pop, then you don't taste it).

:)

You can dilute it more. It mitigates the horrible taste somewhat...as long as you can get enough that you're getting the desired effects you're okay. I didn't finish all my phosphosoda(which I recommend anyway as long as you don't get cherry).
