bowel preparation
"It wasn't the colonoscopy I feared, but drinking the stuff. I survived and you can too. The flavor was exactly like Fanta or Crush grape soda (without the fizz), but the after-taste was nasty.  I made it cold, and used a straw to drink it.  First dose took me about three or four big drinks w/the straw, and in between I rinsed my mouth with water.  I gagged a little, but I'm a big baby when it comes to liquid medicine. Second dose was middle of the night, and a bit harder to get down.  NO pain, gas, cramps or racing to bathroom, which surprised me. Don't let your fear of drinking this stop you from getting a colononscopy, it's not that bad.  good luck. go do it, and get it over with!  If I drank 16 oz twice, you can too!  Really, you can. :)"
