bowel preparation
"After several bouts with diverticulitis (at age 43) a colonoscopy was ordered. I've drank Barium before and it's much worse. The taste is like overly salted salt water with aluminum, windex and cherry flavored cough syrup. I recommend chilling the solution and keeping a hard candy in your mouth while sipping lemon water or sprite.
My belly was very swollen and distended and had a brutal headache- That could be from clear liquid only diet for the last 48 hours.
Suprep started clearing out after about 30 minutes. Still waiting for the second dose at 3am. Make your restroom comfy- blanket (as I had severe chills) step stool for your feet and laptop/tablet to bide your time. I tried to get up and lay in bed, but there's nowarning- stay in there"
