GoLYTELY (polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes) for Bowel Preparation: It was just barely drinkable and you have to drink a huge amount of it. In my case, there no effect for hours and hours and I felt totally bloated. It finally started working, but I didn't feel as fully emptied out as I would have liked by the time of my procedure in the morning. I had followed instructions to the letter, including the dietary instructions the day before.

GoLYTELY (polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes) for Constipation, Chronic: I had been constipated for roughly 4 days after quitting drinking this. I foolishly upped my fiber intake by way more than I should have and got myself backed up. I went to the doctor and he prescribed me Go-Lytely, which is a terribly ironic name for such a medicine. I already have passed stools and feel a lot better. The taste is awful though, Its like lemonade made with one lemon, no sugar and salty well water.

GoLYTELY (polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes) for Bowel Preparation: I had stomach cramps within minutes of starting my first glass of Golytely and started my first bowel movement before I could even finish my first glass! Aside from the nasty taste and the stomach cramps, I have to say this really works. I think my colon will be completely clear for the colonoscopy tomorrow morning at the rate I'm going and that's saying a lot since I'm disabled and have zero control down there in that area.

GoLYTELY (polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes) for Bowel Preparation: You do not go-lightly, tastes like slightly salty water.
