For Bowel Preparation "I don't know what the fuss is about with the taste or smell. I didn't even use the lemon flavor packet that it came with because it contains saccharin, and I hate the aftertaste. I didn't refrigerate it. I drank it room temperature with no flavoring, but I did use a straw. It was not bad at all. It tasted like funny-tasting water that was a little salty. I drank it through the straw really fast, and I had a butterscotch hard candy after each glassful. The reason I didn't drink it cold was that it goes down easier at room temperature."

For Bowel Preparation "I drank 4 liters, and the cleansing stopped after about 3 hours. During my colonoscopy, the doctor told me I was not completely cleansed for the procedure, he made me feel as though I didn’t follow the directions for the medication, and I did. And after 3 days, I can still taste it in my mouth."

For Bowel Preparation "This stuff tastes horrible! Trying to gulp it down, but it has a sweet flavor to it. Was worse when I tried adding the lemon flavoring packet that came with it. Thank you for the chicken broth suggestion! This helped to drink the broth before and after each glass. Can’t wait until this is over!"
