For Bowel Preparation "I just started bowel prep. I have been scared all day reading online comments about how bad it tastes and how it makes people throw up and gag. THIS STUFF DOESN'T EVEN TASTE BAD??!?!?! It's actually borderline sugary and good. Wow... I can't believe I got scared of reading online comments. I'll never do that again. This stuff is not so bad whatsoever! I'll post another update when I start going to see if it causes cramps/bloating/pain/nausea."

For Constipation, Chronic "I have suffered with severe constipation for years, and I use 2 tbsp GaviLyte-G in 16 oz of water twice a day (both glasses at night a few hours apart), and I go regularly now. It has helped me so much! No cramping, a little gassy, but doesn’t hurt. This stuff is a lifesaver!"

For Bowel Preparation "Let me start off with the taste. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either. The first half went down fine. It worked almost immediately for me, about a half hour, then the faucet was opened full flow. No bad cramping, no bloating. My doctor wanted me to split the dose, and that is when the problem of drinking it down got to my head. I guess the taste wasn't what my body was craving for at 3 a.m. I was about to give up drinking it all, but found my way. I remembered my daughter's Capri Sun drinks were clear and sugary. I'd take a sip of that before I guzzled the GaviLyte, then a large sip afterward worked. Now off to get scoped, yay!"

For Bowel Preparation "Three times in six months prepping for a colonoscopy. First was SuPrep, second was Plenvu, third was GaviLyte-G. The GaviLyte was smoothest by far, easiest to drink, and most effective in my case. I added the included lemon flavor packet, and also had some hard lemon candies to help improve the taste when drinking. Four liters total, yes that seems like a ton. I drank half the night before, the other half the morning of the procedure. Slept fine, surprisingly. Some bloated feeling, but minimal cramps and no urges to vomit. Overall, not bad at all. In my experience, GaviLyte > SuPrep > Plenvu."

For Bowel Preparation "I was prescribed GaviLyte-G with electrolytes for bowel prep before a colonoscopy. While it seems like it would be hard to chug down a gallon of laxative, it wasn't that bad. I mixed it up with the lemon flavor packet and put it in the fridge the morning before I was going to use it. That evening, I started drinking it. I simply poured 8 ounces in a cup and drank it every 15 minutes. The taste was not bad at all. It wasn't thick or gritty like some people have described. I had no nausea or cramps at all whatsoever. I just simply had diarrhea for most of the night. Side note: The colonoscopy procedure was a breeze as well. The only complication I may have had due to the prep was very high blood pressure at the time of the procedure, which I had to receive beta blockers in my IV for. My blood pressure was the highest I've ever seen it. (I also have hypertension and take 2 blood pressure medications. Maybe they weren't absorbed due to the prep.)"
