bowel preparation
"This is My first colonoscopy and I am a big baby when it comes to liquid medicine.   I hate the taste of liquid meds.  I won't buy a liquid med.  I was scared I would not be able to tolerate  it when I had to use it.  Yes it taste salty and sweet at the same time.   I just held my nose and drank with a straw.  I had it down in abut 10 mins and 8 sips with some pep talk to myself.  Put it in the fridge when you get it from the pharmacy.  And mix with ice cold water.   Suck on a lemon between sips.  That was what saved me.   It started to work about a half hour after my first sip.   The worse part is you just go,  not warning it just comes out fast.   I've had no cramps or chills.   Hopefully the second round is as easy."
