I am currently doing a moviprep bowel clean out for my scope tomorrow morning. I have only completed 8oz but cant get past the mental block and the weak gag reflex. Keep wanting to puke every time i see it, smell it, taste it. I did this last time but cant seem to get past the metal block. Any suggestions. I much rather have an iv in my arm than drink this nasty stuff. Please help.

Just hold your nose and drink it. Make sure it is cold, and drink it fast every 10 minutes. It is a drag, but if you don't think about it, just drink it, it will go quick.

You need someone to psych you out. I had my kids cheering me on last time. GO DADDY GO. Followed up the gulps with some sierra mist swished in mouth and spit out. Did a scope last month and I had very hard time with the prep.... same type thing, lol.

I'm doing my prep today too...

My prep has always been to take 2 dulcolax at 3pm then at 5pm I mix a 238 gram bottle of Miralax with 64 ounces of water. Add some Chrystal Light powder to flavor it. I drink 8 ounces every 10 minutes until gone.

It works for me and the best thing is it doesn't taste bad at all.

Update. Talked to my doctors nurse she said I could flavor it with cyrstal light packets. Gonna let those finish dissolving then gonna give it another shot.
