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 |

For Bowel Preparation: Simply put: it tastes awful. I struggled through the first round and then dreaded taking the second round at 5am the next morning. It tastes like liquid cough medicine, so imagine drinking 16 fl oz of that and you’ll have a good idea of what it’s like. My best advice: drink it quickly and plug your nose the entire time. Literally don’t let go of your nose until you’re completely finished. I have to say, once I got all the fluids down, it only look a few minutes for it to begin working. So as disgusting as it is, it actually does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Only side effect for me was a slight nauseous feeling, probably due to the amount of liquid in my stomach all at once and the horrendous memory of the taste. Good luck! For Bowel Preparation: Okay, I rushed over here to assure y’all that it is NOT THAT BAD!!! I took the first dose about an hour ago. It’s definitely not as bad as cough syrup or anything like that. Sweet, salty, and a bit of cherry flavor. It was a lot to get down, so I took lots of big gulps over fifteen minutes and chased each gulp with yellow Gatorade. On a more logistical note, I’ve used the bathroom five times in about 45 minutes and at this point it is clear pale yellow liquid so the stuff seems to be doing its job. I don’t even find the diarrhea that extreme - just very watery diarrhea. Yes, stay near a bathroom because when you have you go, you do have to go! But I haven’t come near having an accident or anything. Really not that bad. Don’t read the horror stories! I was sobbing and shaking before I took the first dose because I was so anxious from reading them all day! |

For Bowel Preparation: I am a 46 yo female. I just had my 5th colonoscopy. My Dr. said I was cleaned out well. I like that Clenpiq was low volume. I hate the high volume preps! But the taste was awful. I had to dilute it with Perrier and Gatorade which helped. I made homemade chicken broth and peach-flavored Jello to get me through the day. I started it earlier (at 3:30pm) rather than the proposed 5:30pm time and I'm glad I did to get the process started sooner. First bowel movement came 90 mins later. I know colonoscopies are not easy, but they are a necessary evil, make the best of it. :)
