"I took the first dose at 7:55 a.m. I had kept both bottles in the refrigerator as instructed. The taste was not as awful as anticipated, but there was so much of it that it took nearly 15 minutes to finish. I felt bloated and uncomfortable. I took the second dose at 8:20 a.m. and had much more difficulty getting it down. Finally tossed about 4 ounces down the drain. I really thought I was going to throw it all up. I was given a cup with another half bottle of Volumen to drink as soon as I got to the clinic. That was warm and tasted worse. After waiting for 10 minutes, I was taken to the room for the CT Enterography and given the second half of the bottle to drink. I was already having to urinate every 5 minutes by then, but got through it. Had diarrhea all day."
