I have a colonoscopy due in the next week or so. Can anyone give me any tips ro make the prep bearable. I have read it is awful to drink. I really dont know how I will drink it without throwing it all back up.

I’ve just had mine. It’s not a nice drink. I found it best to have a separate glass of water and alternate - the water helps take the taste away.
Thanks. When I has my phone call she said I could mix with lemonade but unsure if she meant put lemonade in it or to mix the whole lot with lemonade
They mean together but I found it better to have them separately. My colonoscopy was fine so it didn’t affect the results. The drink is possibly the worst part!
good luck.
The prep is terrible I think all would agree ,I actually brought the second lot straight back up it makes you feel so sick and full ,my advice would be not to try and rush it just to get rid of it quicker ,its a mistake I made and what made me sick ,I actually still went for the Colonoscopy the next morning even though I'd only had half of it ,I never told them I'd been sick and they did the Colonoscopy no problem ,some people use a straw it didn't work for me ,it wasn't fast enough lol .
Thank you. Dreading it more than the colonoscopy. Did you add any flavourings to it or just mix with water?
Just with water ,its quite a lot to drink but rushing it down is not the best idea ,its doable and it has to be done so just go for it ..
Thank-you. Just want it over with now. I hope you had a good outcome from your colonoscopy
Yes I've had 2 done in the last few years both have been good and they let you know on the day if there's a problem or not ..
That's good news then.
