For Bowel Preparation "1st colonoscopy and was terrified of the prep, but it was pleasant. I'll break down my review by taste, dose 1, and dose 2. Taste: Loved it. I don't understand the bad reviews about taste or why people need a straw or to sip on a lemon. I did not need those. The cranberry taste was great! My suggestion for your 1st time: Test it out by first taking a sip without the straw or lemon. Also, some people refrigerate it to make it taste better. It cannot be refrigerated. It tastes fine warm, a little salty taste, but 90% sweet. Dose 1: This was harder for me of the 2 doses. I finished the bottle within 30 mins, started pooping 15 min later, and then pooped for 4 hours. I got nauseous, threw up, had a headache, and had bad sweats, but that's not Clenpiq's fault. Those are normal side effects of any prep. Don't blame Clenpiq. Dose 2: Started at 6 AM. Bottle done by 6:30. Clear liquids done by 8:30 AM. No side effects! Really pleasant. Result: My diarrhea was yellow as expected. The colonoscopy went well."

For Bowel Preparation "Followed the low-fiber diet for two days, then liquids only the day of prep. Had the first bottle of Clenpiq at 5 pm, followed it up with a flavored drink so its awful taste would be quickly out of my mouth. It started working in 45 minutes and continued for 4 hours. At 2 am, I had the second one. Not much happened until 4 am. Was clear enough for colonoscopy. But now the headache and diarrhea won’t stop. The BMs are worse than during pre-colonoscopy prep. Thankfully, no polyps, so I don’t have to do it again for 10 years."
