I just had my second one and it was so easy compared to last time. This time the Doctor told me to just get 3 small bottles of flavored magnesium citrate at the drugstore. I chose like a lemon flavor or similar. Put it in the fridge to get cold and used the large straw method described earlier to the back of the throat. I was dreading it and really it was easy this time! As far as the procedure you don't feel anything and there is no pain involved. There are much worse procedures out there and this one is one of the few preventative things to have done that can save your life!
