For Bowel Preparation "I took a generic form of this PEG-3350 bowel prep, the lemon-lime. It was already flavored, so no flavor packets to deal with. (Polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution) for my colonoscopy prep. Its taste is very palatable, imagine drinking a 7 Up that has gone flat. It's a mild lemon-lime flavor that's a little bit salty. Easy to drink, no gag, no holding the nose. I took an anti-nausea pill at 6 am (just in case, don't need to be expelling from both ends at the same time, LOL), started drinking the prep at 6:30 pm, and by 8 pm it was working well. At 10:30 pm I was able to go to bed and actually sleep. The second dose started at 5:30 am and was expelling every 10 to 20 minutes up until 10 am. I had to be at the surgery center by 11 am, so I was getting concerned. Just wish you didn't have to drink a gallon of it since I also had to get down an additional 64 oz of water throughout the day, plus the liquid-only diet, that's just too much liquid! I'd choose this prep again, but I'd start drinking it 2 hours earlier than recommended."

For Bowel Preparation "It's really hard for me to drink it. I had only finished 4 1/2 glasses of water, and I started at 6:00 am, and right now at 9:31 am, still not drinking the half because I have to stop because I needed rest. It did make me nauseous. I'm currently waiting for myself to drink it again. I don't know if I can still do it. I hope I can."

For Bowel Preparation "I’m sure that it will do the job as intended, but the first drink made me gag so much. It’s vile. Chilling it and drinking it through a straw are not helping, not sure how I am going to get through this. Would rather take the PURGO DAN & CITRO MAG. Giving it a 1 rating based on taste alone. Disgusting."

For Bowel Preparation "2nd time having a colonoscopy, first time a breeze from beginning to end, even drinking the prep (TRILYTE) NO PROBLEM. Flush lasted only hours. This time the prep was PEG-3350 with Electrolytes, horrible. Why? Flavored unnecessary, very heavy, the combination made me nauseous, bloating, distended belly. I was RUNNING to the bathroom 2 days later, my stomach has never stopped rumbling and growling. I have little to no appetite. Took the prep on Tuesday, today is Friday and I still feel ill."
