Bowel Preparation
"So, this is my 4th colonoscopy at the age of 48 due to a family history of colon cancer, and the third type of prep I&#039;ve done. YOU CAN DO THIS! This was so much easier than past liquid preps because it is only 6 ounces of solution mixed with 10 ounces of water, followed by lots of plain water. A lot easier to get down 16 ounces of solution mixture than 3 liters (which was my past preps). My recommendations is to chill the solution, use a straw to take your gulps, and bite into a lemon after each gulp to kill the after taste (of course it&#039;s not tasty, but it is manageable). Once the 16 ounces is down ( I did it in about 15 minutes), the water is no problem. The only real downside to this is that I had to get up at 3am to repeat the process."
