Bowel Preparation
"This is my second colonoscopy.  The first one, four years ago, had a completely different prep that was pretty easy to handle - gatorade, bisacodyl laxative, polyethylene glycol 3350, magnesium citrate.  Very effective and not too bad.

This time (different doctor and city), they&#039;ve prescribed a regimen of miralax, magnesium citrate, and suprep.  The miralax and magnesium citrate were fine.  The suprep, however, was the most vile thing I&#039;ve ever had in my mouth.  

It&#039;s not the cherry flavor, it&#039;s the sodium in the solution that causes the instant nausea when it touches your tongue.  I managed not to vomit the first prep, but couldn&#039;t handle the second.  And this prescription, not covered by insurance, cost over $100."
