Colonoscopy Prep

Am facing colonoscopy prep in 2 days, and feeling very anxious. After trying just about every prep (including pills), I will be doing the Miralax/Gatorade prep. Last time I did this (2 years ago) it was after hiatal hernia dx (I have UC), which makes getting this amount of volume down nearly impossible, along with nausea & vomiting. Even though the prep is so much more humane than it used to be, because the taste is not as bad, I know that I will be very sick, and unable to get it all down. MD advised me not to refrigerate the prep, saying that the cold causes more problems getting things down, and that warm (ugh) or room temp (ugh) prep might be easier to get down. Has anyone done this? Thanks.

For me it's much easier to drink the gatorade/miralax cocktail when it's cold. I mix the prep up the night before and separate it into 4 16-oz bottles (I use empty water bottles). It seems easier to pace drinking it from the water bottles and I don't have a have to gulp it down. I usually don't get the last bottle finished but everything is always cleaned out ok. One other tip for an easier prep -- eating lightly for a day or 2 before the prep makes it go much better.

Just FYI-able to do colonscopy prep (Gatorade/miralax prep) at room temp. Used Gatorade G2 as suggested by someone on forum-less sweet is a plus, and found that walking while doing prep helped me to not gag or vomit. Not sure if due to gravity or distraction.........
