For Bowel Preparation "I wish I would have found this page prior to my doing this. NEVER AGAIN. I couldn’t take the “Go-Lytely” years ago, so was happy to hear of a tablet prep. I started the night before. During the day, I had toast and chicken broth and jello for lunch. Kept hydrated. Drank 150 oz prior to prep. Took the tablets and had one bowel movement an hour later. Another hour later, but had lots of noises from my stomach. Today, I woke up at 5 am and started taking the second dose. 15 minutes later, I started throwing up. Kept trying to get the tablets down, but they all came up. I was throwing up yellow bile for the next few hours. My son had to pull over twice on the way to my procedure for me to throw up in the car. Got to the procedure, had a nice nap, and was woken up to say they couldn’t do it. (I had warned them that I didn’t think it would work). 12 hours later, I’ve had Sprite and iced tea to drink and about 10 saltines. I still feel lousy and sick."

For Bowel Preparation "Absolutely horrible. First-time use, stomach cramps still bothering me since the second dose 2 days ago. Used the drink for my 1st colonoscopy 5 years ago and will never touch Sutab again. Excruciating pain in the stomach."

For Bowel Preparation "Fasted the day prior to taking the prep. Followed directions for the 1st dose. Got a severe stomach ache after 1 hour of taking the 12th pill. Took 1 1/2 hours to start the bowel clearing. Stomach ache subsided after a couple of hours. No issues sleeping. Reduced 2nd dose to 8 pills. Worked perfectly, no stomach ache on 2nd dose. Final bowel movement was clear liquid. *** 2nd Colonoscopy: This is a much better choice than the liquid prep. Would certainly use again.***"

For Bowel Preparation "Easy to take compared to the drink. Did cause quite a bit of stomach cramping. Don’t know if I would do it again."

For Bowel Preparation "One of the worst experiences I've ever had. The stomach cramps were debilitating and I expected to get sick. I was sick all night and the day of the colonoscopy. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone."
