Colonoscopy Prep | How to Make It Less Yucky

That sweetie…..off to my prep…. The Lemon Wedge is PERFECT….GLAD I SAW THIS BEFORE I STARTED!!!! THANK

My latest one. The prep was taking 12 pills. Take pill take a sip of something clear. A few minutes after my last pill. It all violently came up. Violent like a volcano!

Thank you for the tips!
I start chugging and chasing in 4 hours!

I just had to go through this. I couldn't get the liquid prep down. I called the doc for alternatives and there is a pill prep (SUTAB). It is two doses of 12 pills each along with a lot of water. For me this was so much easier. I don't know why I wasn't offered that to begin with.

U talking about how to disguise the taste made it easier I was distracted by u thx btw

Thank you! I have mine tomorrow and was so nervous.

I am having mine on Wednesday. I am going to mix my medicine with Gatorade Zero. Then the lax tabs before drinking each dose. Four glasses at 6 and 4 at 10 pm. I don’t think I will get any sleep as I have to leave my house at 8am.

Spot on and thank you. Rather than use tap water I used spring water from bottles 🤷‍♂️. It was as horrible as you said and apple juice chaser was my choice. These vids help those of us doing it for the first time.

The prep is by far worse than the procedure.

did you know there is a pill version of the prep?

For Christ sakes its not that bad I’ve done it twice, don’t be such a wuss

Thank you. We're not looking forward to this, but you made my wife's journey a bit easier. May your kindness come back to you.

I 💩my brains out in a 4 hr period 😮😢😷

I found that adding 4 single serving size Crystal Lite Lemonade packets to the mixture makes it much less yucky. The lemonade packets give it a yellowish color, which according to the prep literature is fine to drink. Just no red flavors, Fruit Punch, etc.

People are so wimpy about this. I don’t worry about the taste. Just drink it.

What about the simethicone (gas relief pills) ?

That face you made is hilarious 😂

I had to take Golytely many years ago. I'm still traumatized by it!

I've got to have a colonoscopy today and started drinking the prep last night and more this morning and it was nasty but got through it.

Omg chica, I'm doing my colonoscopy prep right now and it feels less bad watching other people doing it, too! Thanks for the tips, too! I appreciate you, best wishes!

Thanks beautiful you help me a lot I have mine on Tuesday

The best method I found was to buy TINY ICE CUBE trays, freeze the solution and then simply swallow the tiny cubes. The cubes are quite small and can be easily swallowed. There is no liquid to coat your mouth or tongue, so the awful taste is avoided.
Also, as suggested use some flavor drinks to help as well and pace yourself when swallowing the cubes.

OMG You are just thee cutest perkiest thing everrr! Thanks for the fun tutorial.

Sweatpants weren't quick enough - I needed a diaper!

Thank you honey! Yukkie is right!

Chug the prep. Sip the gatoraid before and after

Can you use gatorade instead of water with the laxative mix?

Its 2:21am & im trying to finish 3nd half, ugh, the taste is not bad, the issue is my stomach feels full & getting discourage. I have to stay up till 10 am, so wstching netflix. Mine taste like lemonade my grandma made & didn't put enough sugar in it.

Too adorable. Love the chipper attitude. I've got a few behind me and had to choke down magnesium citrate(now recalled). This is my first with "Golytely". They don't get easier but certainly worth the trouble as opposed to blowing it off and possibly hearing the worst news down the road. Good luck!

I feel ya drinking the prep was the grossly part of my prep I had to drink 36 ounces it equal 56 ounces I had the worst experience afterwards my stomach was so horrible I pooped on my sheets and my clothes I had to drink it at 3am every 30 minutes my wonderful dad stayed up with me all night long supporting me during my prep and it was horrible I got so dehydrated to the point my hands legs and arms were cramping all day long I recommend you drink lots of power aid afterwards I ignored the fact I was so dehydrated and I still feel horrible even 72 hours after I got dehydrated due to my procedure on Monday morning I had never experienced this before I was scared something was horribly wrong with my body luckily my dad was home with me and was able to help me get rehydration I'm still alittle light headed and dizzy I hope everything went well for yours I hated the fact that i couldn't eat I was starving I was an trooper through mine I want never to taste that powder again it was an whole big thing of it😢

Your volume is low.

Lick a popsicle in between sips

Thank you for Sharing 🙂🥰🥰. I'm going to have my Colonoscopy on Thursday April 20. 2023.

Omg can she talk any faster

You’re adorable & you actually make drinking that yucky stuff probable. Great tips! Thanks !

Thanks for sharing your specific choices and the reason for them, specially no red-purple-pink gelatins.

Have a jar of Vaseline handy and slather it on just before 💩ing; will save your butt from burning afterwards. You’ll be glad you did😉

God Bless and heal you.

Thank you!!!! Anything helps. I have to do these every year and really struggle with the prep.

I wish I had seen this a month ago! Lol My drink wasn’t so bad. I had to add 8oz of powdered (tasteless) Miralax to several bottles of Gatorade. It was doable.

Excellent advice, which I happened to take during last week's procedure. I despaired of getting 'clear' in time for my noontime appointment, so I began chugging two hours earlier than intended in the morning. I'm so glad I did.

"Bottom's up!" LOL!

I’ve been mixing mine with chicken broth. Have my procedure in the morning. The broth makes it more tolerable. It’s not cold because the broth is hot when I mix it in the cup. This is my 4th time going for a colonoscopy.

Can u still go to work when drinking this or do u need to stay home

Last time Ipremessured into 16.9 bottles chugged it down like shots.

Thank you so much! I’m getting my first colonoscopy ever, at 32, in two days. The prep scared me until I watched this. 😅

Kayla, you are the best!! This is awesome!

U talk TOOooò fast

What I did for mine was bought lemon flavor jolly ranchers and held it in my teeth and it wasn’t so bad lol
