  As someone that has had a colonoscopy, this is basically an accurate account of what the prep is like.

    Agreed! I hated the flavor of the prep mix too, next time I may try pickle juice.

    Followed by lots and lots of clear or not-red hydrating fluids, to keep your brain working. Personally I like DripDrops mixed with a little extra plain water.

      Apparently sugar free Haribo gummy bears work. Just eat 5 or so every hour. You’ll get the intended results before you hit 20

        Or just chew a full pack of gum.

        It’s the sorbitol that does the trick.

      Yes! I think the stuff I took was called Moviprep, and it was supposed to be lemon flavoured. It kinda was, but it has such a horrible chemical taste that it took everything I had to finish the dose.

    Screw that thing. You basically have to go immediately to the toilet, yet you cannot run upstairs or you shit yourself. Have to slow down lol

    The hardest my father in law laughs is at some boomer email copypasta about shitting like crazy after taking those meds that keep you for it.
