bowel preparation
"OK - disclaimer before I start: I have a fairly regular bowel and rarely experience any stomach discomfort!! I did a lot of reading on the Internet so I felt that I was quite prepared for this experience.  I stopped eating solid foods 24 hours before the prep deadline and I only had soup on the morning of prep day.  I put the bottles of the mix into the fridge so when the time came, they were nicely chilled.  At 4pm the day before the procedure, I used cool water to prepare the first cup which I was able to drink (even though I dislike cherry flavor) quite easily.  The "action" started within 45 minutes and I did not experience any pain or nausea or discomfort. I was "done" by 8pm.  And it was the same the next morning."
