For Bowel Preparation "Oh hell no. My wife is lying on the bathroom floor, writhing in pain. Forget about taking the second dose. She's done. No way we're having the colonoscopy tomorrow; not this way. Rating this a 2, because I know some tallying software throws out the 1 votes."

For Bowel Preparation "When I took the first bottle of 12 pills, I immediately felt nauseated. 1 hr later, I was violently vomiting. I ended up running back and forth to the bathroom for 4 hrs. I stopped the prep, could not drink anything, and felt extremely sick the rest of the night and the next morning. My bottom was extremely sore. I canceled my colonoscopy and will not reschedule one. Worst experience with a drug in my life. 2 weeks later and my stools are still messed up."

For Bowel Preparation "I don’t know if these other people are low on minerals/electrolytes to begin with, but I almost canceled my procedure when I started reading their reviews! I was terrified! I’m here to tell you, it’s not. It went about as smoothly as a prep could go. No nausea, no pain, no burning, and a very clean colon for a good scope. I did no special diet leading up to the prep. I eat pretty clean—only meats/veggies and fruits/some dairy. The day of, I didn’t eat all day. Instead I drank a ton of bone broth with plenty of sea salt, coconut water, teas with honey, and anything to build electrolytes and minerals. When I started the prep that evening, I took the pills 2 min apart with water mixed with electrolyte powder. Repeated this for the second dose the next morning. Stay close to the toilet, and wear a pad, just in case. And in others’ words, don’t trust a fart."

For Bowel Preparation "The first dose of 12 pills wasn't too bad, but after the second dose, I've never been so sick. Such nausea and pain and vomiting. I don't think I'll try them again."
