bowel preparation
"This was my 2nd colonoscopy since 2009 and this prep was by far the worst because my first prep did not clean me out near as good as this one did.  Did not know what to expect as far as taste, but it was yuck and all I could do to get it down.  Nurse told me not to gulp it as it may come right back up so I drank it over about a 10 minute period.  Not bad but the after taste is the killer.  Started working in about 30 minutes and for the next 3 hours it was doing its job.  Some advice, get some moist wipes, they are wonderful versus toilet paper.  Second dose was about the same.  Did have some bloating and chills from all the cold water, but no cramps, only a sore backside and legs from sitting on toilet for so long. Procedure was easy."
