The juice I drank was rather bitter (only 6 oz. mixed with 10 ounces of water), then I drank 32 more ounces of just plain water all in one hour. Then I repeated the same steps the next morning at 6:00 a.m. My friend who had a colonoscopy earlier this year had cherry flavored juice. One coworker said he took a pill -- I will check out that option in 5 yrs. for my next colonoscopy.
