For Bowel Preparation "I have taken this at least 5-6 times for the last 10 years. I have had major problems with it since the first time. Causing me major fatigue. The last time I took it was 3 years ago and I had very severe cramps and not having enough time to get to the bathroom. I went to the hospital and the doctor said it didn't work good enough so he had me go home and do a second round. I went back the next day and did the process with no energy. I had to do it last night and it was even worse than the other times. I was gagging it down and up all night with severe cramps. I tried the second dose in the morning and I just about started throwing up so I called the office and they said to stop. Once the doctor was done he said it didn't evacuate enough."

For Bowel Preparation "Soooo. It has been an hour since my first dose and nothing but real bad cramping and discomfort in my upper GI. I have had no BM yet. I am extremely bloated and uncomfortable. Hopefully, dose 2 goes better. But I do have to do an enema at 6 am as well."

For Bowel Preparation "First colonoscopy, this product worked great as long as you follow doctor's orders with eating and dosing regimen. Used popsicles and hard candies while ingesting. Give yourself a few hours each dose to be on the toilet. Some cramping and nausea, expected this but went away quickly after evacuating the colon. I would use this product again."

For Bowel Preparation "This was my 1st colonoscopy, so I had no history to look back on. The reviews on here were spot on for Dose 1. It’s an awful mango flavor that’s sweet, salty, and thick. The mere thought of it still makes me queasy. I managed to finish 95% of it in about 40-45 minutes. Drinking apple juice in between sips was definitely helpful advice. I had a temporary crown installed the week before and was on a very soft food diet, so that really helped. Dose one did its job effectively. My doctor gave me anti-nausea meds, and I took those based on the reviews from this site. I had zero issues with bloating or cramping. Dose 2, at a wonderful 4:15 AM, was another awful fruit punch flavor that was just as sweet and salty as Dose 1, but thank God it wasn’t a syrup consistency. I choked down 90% of it and quit when I threw it up. Overall, this was an awful prep experience, but I never really vomited, so thankful for that at least. My colonoscopy went well."

For Bowel Preparation "I got cramps, shivers, bloatedness. The next morning I still had to go. It tasted so bad. I don’t like the 3 days beforehand you have to limit your diet too."
