bowel preparation
"This was my second colonoscopy, as the first one, the prep was not sufficient.  That was with the PEG solution.  This stuff worked much better for me with the split dose.  I took the first dose at 6:00 PM the night before.  It tastes like cough syrup.  Some say to drink with a straw, I just chugged the whole thing as fast as I could, then drank some Gatorade.  No big deal for me.  Took about 45 min for first bowel motion, then a long gap, and about 5 hours later, the "volcano" started.  My scope was scheduled for 7:00 AM, so I had to take the next dose at 2:00, that worked faster, but basically was up most of the night.  It's really not that bad.  The worst part with all these preps is the amount of liquids you have to consume."
