6.4
For Bowel Preparation: Tastes like sweet and salty chalk but I didn't mind. I am on 2nd bottle now. Tons of water and clear pedialyte so I have zero dehydration, no headaches or anything, no cramps, no nausea. Worried a bit because I only have a small amount of bowel movements that were just liquid and now nothing. That's it? Did it work? I go in for the colonoscopy in about 3 hours. I am up all night feeling like I gotta go but then don't. So we will see |
5.0
For Bowel Preparation: This stuff tastes absolutely horrible. Was able to choke down the first dose however I threw up the second dosage but was still able to absorb enough to complete the procedure. It acted very quickly for me (in about 50 minutes) and actually didn’t hurt my stomach too bad at the time . I’m recovering now and my stomach hurts very badly and I feel pretty terrible but it did the job. Overall it’s effective but pretty unpleasant For Bowel Preparation: I was glad I only had to drink half as much prep as I did ten years ago but the nausea, vomiting and chills were unexpected side effects. I know there is some really bright person who can develop a better prep that doesn’t include drinking horrible liquids that cause such nausea and vomiting and a general feeling of being ill. I am not exaggerating when I say this prep taste horrible and the thick salty sweet is almost impossible to drink. I hope it works and I can have the procedure tomorrow morning. If not, I won’t repeat this prep again and will ask for the older stuff that was bad but didn’t make me sick. |

For Bowel Preparation: I am 80 plus years old. I have had several ! colonoscopy preps. I have always had a nauseous stomach. This is the easiest prep I have ever done. The others make you drink the prep with a gallon of water which I would immediately vomit up and they tasted horrible!!! With clenpiq one x 2 bottles and a glass of liquid every hour for 5 hours a piece of cake:-) Yes it is sweet but so are the others. It worked for me.
