"Overall, it worked well. I detest the chemical taste of artificial sweeteners, and this has a saccharine sweetened lemon flavor packet. I skipped the packet and made a simple syrup with 1/3 cup of sugar in about 1/2 cup of water (which is approximately 1/2 teaspoon per cup) and squeezed a lemon, adding both to the mix as part of the water until it was palatable. I ended up using less sugar than I prepared. It tasted like a slightly salty weak lemonade. The GaviLyte had some hard clumps among the granules which I broke up before mixing. Make sure you shake the mix well. The product worked well, but the volume was ridiculously high-12 cups plus about 4 more in the morning. I could barely physically hold 12 cups. It took about 3 hours before I felt it was safe to go to sleep. The second round in the morning finished off the job early enough to feel reasonably safe to drive an hour. It did raise my blood pressure, which is usually in the normal range. I checked it because I felt a little dizzy."

"This stuff isn’t bad. Mixed it with a lemon twist and pounded a glass every 15 minutes. Worked great."

"Preparing for a colonoscopy is not a pleasant thing. However, the experience I had with GaviLyte-G was acceptable. I pre-prepared the solution in the morning with added lemon flavor and placed it in the refrigerator. As per my doctor's direction, I took 2 Dulcolax at 2PM, then drank half the solution between 4 & 6PM. At 6PM, I took 2 more Dulcolax and drank the other half between 2 & 4AM. Based on the cleanliness of my colon, I would give GaviLyte-G a 10. It's not easy to drink; however, necessary if you want to have a successful procedure."
