bowel preparation
"Followed a very light diet 2 days before prep day to minimize volume. No meat, nothing spicy. Just eggs, pasta, lots of water. Took 1st dose at 5pm after liquids all day. In hindsight, I would stop drinking anything about an hour before because the bloat of 16oz of solution then 32oz of water within an hour was uncomfortable. Drank with a straw as far back in my throat as possible and held my nose. Didn't want to drag it out so finished it within 5 minutes. Chewed peppermint gum afterwards to kill the taste; the last 3 sips were rough to get down. It began working in about 30 minutes. 2 hrs/6 trips to the potty and I seem to be done. Morning will be hard. Water on an empty stomach in the a.m always makes me nauseous."
