Colonoscopy PREP options - HELP!

Hey guys,


My doctor has me down to use "Go lightly" Is this the great big jug with poweder in it? What else is there? I know in hospital they gave me something that was a breeze..... Whenever I have to try and drink that great big jug of crap i get SICK. ALWAYS. and they always wine about how it isnt cleaned out proper. Surely I know there is other options. What are they called?

Thanks I am gonna call them on Monday. In the hopsital they gave me something that actually didnt taste too bad and it might have been a litre tops, pretty sure it was less in fact. I don't know what it is but that go lightly does not agree with me AT ALL! If I have to I will pay extra for whatever they gave me in the hospital, if possible. Seems pointless to get this colonoscopy if I am not cleaned out proper which is what happens each time they get me to get that jug. Maybe I will buy some mirilax as well just to try and help things along.

SuPrep, not so bad tasting and less volume to drink.

HalfLytely wasn't so bad as the Go and Nu Lytely products, again less volume.

Both are script items so you need a doctor to cooperate and script one or the other.

You might try calling the hospital's endoscopy department and ask them what prep they use for in-hospital patients and explain it was so much easier on you you want to ask your gastro to script it for you for your next colonoscopy.

I'm guessing it might well be SuPrep.

Once you manage to get the bilge-water tasting prep prep down the key to a really clean colon is the amount of clear liquids you can drink right up until NPO time. The prep makes you "gotta go", the clear liquids are what do the vital rinsing.

Thanks guys, my Mom actually talked to the pharmacy she goes to and they gave her something orange flavour.. I am not sure what it is she told me what was in it and it sounded like it may have been a generic version of Suprep but in one ear out the other earlier. I will grab it tomorrow and see and compare and call Doctor and see if that will work. Two packets one at night and one in morning and drink lots of water. But if you need a script it probably is not suprep or equivelent. I will know tomorrow. She kept the Receipt incase it does not fly with GI. I would hope the pharmacist would know though they said it was what they took once Vs the giant jug of death.... I will call the GI in morning to get more info, bottom line I aint drinking that jug cause the last 3-4 times it made me deathly sick after only a fraction consumed. I will make that clear to them and if what my Mom picked up doesnt work then they gotta give me whatever they did last year this time in hospital as that imo was a breeze. I will update. It is nice to know I am not the only one who cant keep it down Jenn77. Stuff is just too evil to me if I cant drink it all it is pointless.
