Comparing Plenvu vs Polyethylene Glycol 3350

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 Constipation: My doctor prescribed generic miralax every day due to chronic constipation, I now take it sparingly. It works wonders! I was on it for a good straight week last week, stopped for about 4 days, and had gurgling, excessive gas, loose stool too.(I am drinking miralax as we speak now LOL) I definitely need it. I'm planning on taking it every other day or every 2 days. It's helped tremendously

For Constipation: Aside from your guts rumbling around like a dishwasher for a few days it's not too bad. I look and feel like a water balloon for a few days afterwards. I take this when constipation has progressed beyond normal and I'm in the "rolling around and crying" stage. Otherwise, I take Magnesium Citrate while the intestinal pressure is still low.
