For Bowel Preparation "You guys. It’s totally not that bad at all. I read all these comments before starting my bowel prep and was nervous becaused of how extreme some people make it to be. It’s not. Yeah there’s a mediciney after-taste, but pair it with yellow Gatorade and it’s not bad. Yes, it’s drinkable. It does not taste like liquid death. I didn’t even use a straw, just chugged it down in under 3 mins both times. This was also my first time doing any sort of laxative. It’s just like water pouring through you. I had zero stomach cramping and it didn’t burn. Just calmly emptying out. I had my gallon of water sitting next to me and I chilled in the bathroom for about an hour each time, playing games on my phone. Then it was over and I went on about my evening. The morning dose made me feel slightly nauseous just bc it was of how long it’s been since I haven’t eaten, but it went away quick when I emptied out. It is not the worst thing that will happen to you all week ok? Good luck y’all!"

For Bowel Preparation "I’m in complete disbelief that the general good reviews of this poison are real. I threw up 3 times and couldn’t finish the 2nd half of my prep. I have broken capillaries in my face and got a bloody nose from puking my stomach juices out. A prep for a colonoscopy does NOT go this way. I didn’t ask any questions or google anything when the DR gave me SUPREP. I trusted him. Yeah there was a lot of bathroom time, fine. The taste is vile. You could mix it with a million dollars and it wouldn’t be consumable. Somebody is getting paid to push this stuff maybe they should drink it. I rated it effective because it works, you get cleaned out."

For Bowel Preparation "Worked exactly as it said it would and what my GI said would happen. Didn’t mind the taste (just held my breath since 90% of taste is air going over tastebuds). Worked after 45 minutes and most of the action was on the first dose which I took at 4:45 pm. 2nd dose was at 2:45 am and I was able to get some sleep in between bouts. Ran yellow liquid at the end (which is normal since bile is the only thing left at that point in you). Was very clean prep according to my GI. No nausea at all. And I returned to normal the next day after I got more in me. No bloating or discomfort like I had with PEG. CRC (colorectal cancer) is the most preventable yet least prevented form of cancer. No reason to not get screened if you are eligible. You miss 100% of everything you don’t look for."

For Bowel Preparation "This is the worst tasting substance on the face of the earth. There is no excuse for creating a product that is this difficult to swallow. Each company executive should be forced to drink it at least once at week. It does have the intended effect but otherwise there has to be something better than this."

For Bowel Preparation "omg! Although 60, I avoided a colonscooy due to the horror stories, but I knew I needed one, so here goes. I ate a light breakfast and some soup for dinner. I started the prep two hours later. Two hours afterwards I literally had to go to the bathroom every five minutes for two hours. Then it was time for the second one. I was up for another 4 hours at the second track meet. I don't know what other preps are like, but this was god awful ugly. My colonscooy went well and my doctor said that I did a fabulous job cleaning out my colon. A day later, my stomach is still nauseous"

For Bowel Preparation "Some people have the experience and they say "oh...it's not that bad...." this is the worst experience I've ever had in my life! For me it really is that bad. I remember gagging and throwing up and trying to get this nasty salt water/ fake cherry thing down....it was just awful! I don't know why this product even exists! No one should have to endure this kind of suffering...I thought I was going to be the end of me!"

For Bowel Preparation "After reading the scary reviews, I wanted to come back here after my procedure and reassure people that Suprep is very doable and works well. Maybe its not the best tasting drink in the world but not terrible either. I did chill it and add some lemonade crystal light, but I was able to drink it without difficulty. I was expecting it to be the worst thing ever based on previous reviews! I had no nausea and it began working about an hour after drinking. Round 2 for me was in the middle of the night, so of course it was a bit harder (because I was so tired) but again, very tolerable. Good news was that my colon was cleaned out well!! My best advice is try not to worry and overthink it and you will be fine."

For Bowel Preparation "The Suprep is not that horrible tasting. Dilute it as instructed, chill it, drink through a straw. The results are as expected. I had no cramping. One suggestion, put on a dab of petroleum jelly every time you use toilet paper. Wear your fitness tracker to add to your 10,000 steps"

For Bowel Preparation "To those obsessively looking through reviews before prepping like I was, don't worry! I read some bad reviews and was terrified, but the whole experience was easier than I thought. The Suprep does not taste good, but it's not as bad as I expected. Per my doctors advice, I refrigerated the suprep and mixed it with cold water to help the taste. It tasted somewhat like a sweet cough syrup, but more bitter, with a grape aftertaste. Getting it cold takes away the saltiness. Like other reviewers have said, get a lemon to bite down on after each drink, it gets the taste out of your mouth instantly! The "emptying" started about 20 min. after drinking, I didn't have any nausea or cramping at all."

For Bowel Preparation "I am a newbie at this stuff, and after reading the reviews, I was scared to death! Luckily I didn't experience the nausea most folks mentioned in their reviews...I was able to mix with water and chug it down, followed by the other 32oz of water, back to back. Not as bad as I thought, tasted like watered down, grape flavored drink, with lots of salt. Not too bad, I thought to myself! About 20 minutes later, all hell broke loose! I trotted to bathroom, and you better be close by as well! Around 3 hours of trips to the toilet the first batch did its job, quite effectively might I add....like a water jet for your bowels!! Never, and I mean never ever , trust a fart, sneeze, or cough! You will be in very dangerous territory!"

For Bowel Preparation "So after staying up all night reading all these reviews I was absolutely DREADING drinking this stuff. Honestly it tasted bad but not to the point where you can’t handle it. I chased each sip with water that was mixed with crystal light lemonade. I didn’t experience any cramping or anything like that. As for the nausea I took a zofran an hour before each dose so I didn’t really experience any. I went to the bathroom quite frequently finally got to bed at about midnight and slept through until 7am then was up using the bathroom again. I will say this - wipe with preparation H wipes each time you use the restroom and put Vaseline or preparation H cream down there each time you use the restroom. Drinking the the suprep through a straw really helped out. Today is the day of the procedure never done anything like this before so quite nervous! Hope this helps somebody!"

For Bowel Preparation "The taste is not good but I found this easier than mag citrate. I had no pain just lots of fluid output. I was very worried about getting cleaned out but it did the trick. I had yellow liquid output at the end which is normal. I told the doc I was worried about being cleaned out enough and she said “don’t worry. I have a power wash”. That relaxed me. Anyhow it’s a miserable process but just go in knowing it’s not fun but the alternative sucks if you have something that needs fixing up there. I put this off for a decade which wasn’t smart. Anyhow. Suprep is not pleasant but mixing with Gatorade and chasing with cold water and hard candy helps. My results were normal and I’m thankful for that and insurance that pays for this procedure. Good luck. You will feel so happy afterwards!! Focus on that."

For Bowel Preparation "These people are worse than my 4 year old taking medicine. I mixed it, chugged the 16 ounces of grape, salty drink and then chewed on a lemon. Honestly, these people had me all worked up and the stuff tasted like a bad mixed drink. "

For Bowel Preparation "I was SO scared of the bowel preparation. I gag when I have to gargle with salt water! So I gathered up my courage and took the first bottle of SUPREP. It smells like cherry cough syrup but believe me it doesn't even have a hint of fruit flavor. It tastes like clear salt water. BUT I was able to do it! I held my nose and drank as much as I could with each gulp. In between gulps I would eat a spoon of lemon Italian ice which cut the taste (highly recommend this). It took about 6 or 7 gulps to get it down and then it works pretty quickly. If I can do it, anyone can! I wasn't looking forward to the next dose but at least I knew I could do it. It's the best prep out there."

For Bowel Preparation "This stuff will clean you out like an auger. It is incredibly effective and does exactly what it is designed to do. When the directions are properly followed in the manner prescribed, it provides an outstanding cleanse of the digestive system. Also, it tastes like bile mixed with poison berries. If hatred has a flavor, this is it. Did I dread being gassed into unconsciousness, having a robot make five incisions in me and drag out a section of my gut? Not as much as I dreaded taking the second dose of the this stuff. Is it the Underworld's Kool-Aid? No doubt. Will question yourself? Most certainly. But does it work? Absolutely."

For Bowel Preparation "I was initially worried I was going to be up all night on this stuff because of some of the reviews on here, but it wasn't terrible. The taste wasn't a huge deal - drink it cold and with a straw and you'll be fine. It's definitely not a margarita, but it's not the worst thing I've had to drink. The first round took effect in 15-20 minutes or so. I felt like it started to slow down after about 2 hours of intermittent going, with a few more trips to the bathroom between hours 2-3. Same in the morning. Protip: Don't sit on the toilet the whole time, your legs will start falling asleep. But don't go far. Protip: Don't trust a fart. It's not a fart."

For Bowel Preparation "Easy. I didn't barf or feel sick. Not even close. The taste is more sweet than the sodium electrolyte taste. It was not hard to get down. I took 10 minutes to do it. I took 40 minutes to get both additional 16 ounce cups of water ingested. The flavor is like grape pedialyte with some sodium added. Its not like seawater (bleh) its an electrolyte type flavor. Hardest part was just being hungry. The actual prep process was pretty easy to do. Not a big deal. You will pass water for an hour or two. Once its done you feel pretty good and clean. Its kind of amazing. The hard part is probably psychological, don't work yourself up over small potatoes. Its not that bad at all. Get it over with and move on."

For Bowel Preparation "I can tolerate a lot but this stuff made me gag!!! It took all my effort not to throw it up! I’m not sure I could go through this again.! I must say that it works great. But, I think I would opt for the ‘old’ way if I had to do it again. Even the thought of the taste of it, makes me gag!!"

For Bowel Preparation "I was dreading this, but I have to say it was not as bad as I was expecting. Your doc will probably give you a tip list...read it! Use COLD water, crystal light (I used the lemonade flavor), a straw, and hold your nose. Then suck on a lemon or lime. I am a pretty healthy eater and followed directions regarding foods to watch/eliminate in rather days prior to this. I think this helped tremendously! I ate a light dinner the night before prep started as well. The Suprep started to work in about an hour, and lasted about 2 hours. I was able to get some sleep, but had to get up at 3AM for round 2 as I had a 730 arrival. I had no issues/side effects."

For Bowel Preparation "Easier to consume amount required compared to previous method which required drinking huge amount night before (difficulty doing that one). Agree taste is not greatest. I dabbed finger in hot Chinese mustard and coated tongue afterward to get rid of the after-taste. Do whatever works for you. Did not experience chills, excessive bloating, pain, just a full feeling. Started to work in about 1 hour. Started 6 PM, was able to go to bed about 10 PM without need to go again. Repeated process about 5:30 AM, left house 8:30 for clinic, no problems with diarrhea. All in all, it wasn't that difficult or unpleasant. Mental attitude is a big factor."

For Bowel Preparation "So, I was nervous about this Suprep ordeal ALL day. 9:30am colonoscopy appointment; started the prep 4pm the evening before. I had out of this world anxiety. First, the taste is not THAT bad. I had some burping while taking it down. Sip water in between prep sips. 25 minutes after starting (before finishing the prep) I needed to use the bathroom. Big watery movement for the first one. Finished the prep and drank most of the the rest of the 32 ounces. Watery movements coming every few minutes; but, no pain, no cramps, no nausea. By 5pm, my bowel movements are clear. The prep does not cause horrible diarrhea ... it does cause diarrhea, but it's not horrible. It just comes out. No cramping or straining. Just a literal flush of the system. Second dose will be about 9pm."

For Bowel Preparation "Just turned 60 & had not had a colonoscopy in 10 years . Read the reviews and really scared me . It is what it is and it needs to be done. Took my 1st dose @ 7pm the night before . Mixed it as directed . Used a bit of Crystal Light and drank it super-cold. No straw used. Not too bad. Taste was not great but no gagging as I've read here. Took about 1 1/2 hours to work and the waterfall began. About 2 hours of really close bathroom time needed. I agree on the use of diaper cream, much needed. Took the 2nd dose @ 7am the day of the procedure. Worked faster , but not as intense. My test came out a-OK. Mind over matter people. Nothing to fear but fear itself"

For Bowel Preparation "This is by far the best colon prep I've used having undergone 3 other colonoscopies. I drank the first dose in about 5 minutes and the second one in less than 10 minutes. Using a wide straw sure helped get it down easier. The first time I had to get to the bathroom in about 40 minutes and the second dose in about 30 minutes from first drinking. I was totally cleaned out by the time I had my colonoscopy which went very well - no polyps, just the diverticulosis, which I knew about from prior scopes of the pipes. Good advice-have baby wipes handy. The ones with aloe & vitamin E are very soothing. Also some sort of ointment for the burning soreness. The Suprep made the experience much more tolerable. Good luck with your procedure!"

For Bowel Preparation "I will first say that I have UC (ulcerative colitis) and am a veteran at having colonoscopies. I have always previously used the gallon method and it is truly nasty. I learned of this Suprep alternative from my Dr and was excited to try it. The reviews are very negative about taste, but I found it to be truly no big deal. I just put the stuff in the cup, added the water to 16 oz and drank it in 2-3 chugs. You then follow with two 16 oz glasses of water. I took the second dose later that night and again no problem. The prep had me very well cleansed and ready for the procedure. It is over $100, but in my opinion very well worth it. I am still surprised at how many people can't drink the prep and struggle with colonoscopies."

For Bowel Preparation "Like previous posters, I had focused on negative reviews and was terrified as this was my first prep. At 3pm I took my first dose. I mixed my prep with cold water and refrigerated before taking. I had read the lemon slice trick a few times, so had some on hand. I took it down in three large gulps and didn't have any problems. I drank the next 32 ounces of water with ease. About 30 minutes later was my first movement. That dose had me in and out of the bathroom for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The second dose I repeated at 11pm, same exact thing. I was able to sleep from 1:30am until leaving the house at 6:30am. I worried for nothing. All finished and results were just fine!"
