Nothing hides the taste of Turbo-lax .... Good Luck
A Lesser known Fact
With your procedure...we all used to scream but now they use Propofol anesthesia!

Who did you go to that prescribed pills?

Might I suggest eating at Taco Bell 24 hrs before the procedure.

I'm happy this was brought up as I have a prep kit sitting on my desk as I write this. I'll try the Ginger and cooling method. Thank's.

Get the tubes of Crystal Lite and mix according to directions. Chill overnight in the fridge. Then drink it a glass at a time. I've been doing this for years.

It's funny that with each colonoscopy I had (5-6) over the years, never had the same prep. Same doctor though.

A shot of bourbon for each 8 oz. Mix, it's tolerable then.

Try cherry koolaid, it’s so sweet (providing you put enough sugar in it) it take the taste 👅 of everything nasty I have to get down.

Clear Gatoraid that’s what I used.

I am a colon cancer survivor and get one and sometimes two of these every year for the past 7 years. Add one of those small packets of diet crystal light lemonade (yellow)...the one intended for a glass size serving. The other suggestion is to get a kitchen timer and set it to 20-minute intervals, get a red solo cup. When the timer goes off, hold your breath (yes this helps) and drink FAST until you consume the entire cup. (don't take sips....drink it to get it down) Reset timer and do again once the timer sounds. Repeat cycle until all the drink is gone. And, like others have mentioned...if you begin a couple of days in advance using 2 Dulcolax then the day of the prep will not be so difficult on your system. I'll be doing this one week from now....is my anniversary of finding the cancer and my annual time to go in for the procedure.

I wish I would have seen this b4 my procedure. Good information here to help with drinking the prep. The prep was the hardest part of the whole process.

Topspin, I know you sometimes take exception to things I have written and that’s OK, but for this one, please take my advice. I mean this as a kindness. . .

About that cherry Kool-Aid — when doing a colonoscopy prep, you must never use anything red or purple or orange.

Any instructions I have ever seen on the prep say lemon or lime or clear. Red and purple and orange are forbidden.

Nobody wants to have to do a do-over on a colonoscopy prep.
