bowel preparation
"I was 64 when I had my first colonoscopy.  I was terrified of having to drink "the awful tasting liquid' after reading all the horror stories.  So I went in with a positive attitude.  I drank the first part of the SuPrep starting at 7 pm.  I mixed everything together and I also had a glass of Crystal Lite Lemonade and a bottle of lime flavored Gatorade handy.  So I started drinking the solution and I was surprised that it was not nearly as awful as what I had expected.  I would drink several swallows of it and then I would drink some lemonade.  I did that repeatedly until I drank it all. Followed by two 16 oz. bottles  of water.  So much easier than what I expected.  They found 4 polyps all benign.  I felt stupid for not doing this sooner."
