Hello . . . it's that time of year when I get my annual present - a colonoscopy. I know the flavor packs are pretty much useless, but does anyone have any recommendations as to which is the most tolerable? Thanks.

None of them are very tolerable for me.
Instead of the 4L lytely's, can you have one of the newer clean-out remedies, like miralax or something?

This last one I had in the fall I actually did the plain and then added Crystal Light Lemonade. I think adding my own flavor worked better. It really wasn't too bad!

Good Luck, the prep is always the worst part!

I would have to agree with the miralax prep. If it's not too late, you could ask if it would be ok
to do that. It really is so much nicer, well nicer is kinda overdoing it, but you know what I mean :)

I'm pretty sure I added pineapple to mine. And it was gross, tasted like sweat. about halfway through it I gave up because I just couldn't get it down without wanting to vomit. So I started the miralax prep with some gatorade and it worked fine and was cleansed for the colonoscopy. You should ask your gi if you could just do the miralax prep. It's much easier to get down.

I cut mine with Gatorade... Still tasted bad and you had to drink twice as much but it was at least tolerable.
