I happen to agree with you. I had a need for frequent colonoscopies and they always handed me that nasty stuff which I just could not get down.

So I asked the doc why he said because they had a lifetime supply of it on the shelf. and that if I added a flavoring it would help. However he followed with a caveat make sure it doesn't contain sugar Why? because in the event of a spark

From that point on I demanded another type of prep.

the worse colonoscopy I had occurred at the University Hospital Minnesota in Minneapolis. The two doctors there on staff treated me like a hunk of meat and for the first and last time . They hurt me.

I left that doctor and found another who to this day believe was the best of the best and I had an opportunity to try the doctors at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

Colonscopies may be an inconvenience but they can be your best friend
