Prepopik

Thank the Gods that there is FINALLY a scope prep that DOESN'T make me want to puke my brains out.
It's horrible that I stood at the sink for 20 mins cup in hand.....
frozen... with sheer DREAD.
It's about FREAKING TIME they got it right.
Colonoscopy no. 6 is scheduled at 9 in the morning.
Small bowel follow-through scheduled Monday.
Lovely weekend, don't you agree? Lol.
However, after I have these done, I'll be put on long-term therapy.
FINALLY!!!! Been in limbo with this CRAP (ALL pun intended) WWAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY to darn long.

I just did the Prepopik prep and hated it. It is a split dose. You drink 5 oz of the prep followed by 5 glasses of any clear liquid over a 5 hour period. Then, depending on the time of your colonoscopy, you do it again around 6-8 hours later. The advantage is you drink such a tiny amount of icky tasting prep. It just didn't work that well for me. I was on clear liquids all day, then started the prep at 6:00 PM. It took me until 3:00 AM until I had my first bowel movement, and I was bloated and in pain until then. I prefer the old preps...even though you need to drink more horrible stuff, it works faster and wasn't as painful for me. My doc says most people love it though...I tend toward constipation, so maybe that's why I had a tough time with it.
Wiccan-chik....good luck with the colonoscopy..I hope you get good results!!

i used this recently and I just remember it being a rough experience but now worse than other preps like golytely or the old one fleet's. i was having multiple bowel movements relatively quickly. it tastes like orange soda which was a welcome taste profile after being on SCD for so long

I used Prepopik last month for my colonoscopy and I wasn't happy with it.  It took hours to work and I didn't think it cleaned me out as well as other preps I've taken over the years.
