This medicine made me extremely dizzy, nauseous, fighting to not vomit, horrible feeling with headache. I drank the golitely at my last procedure and it was by far worse than these pills, but I don't think they have this process down as user friendly yet.

I immediately started vomiting after the first course of pills and developed a rash on both sides of my face as well as inflammation of the facial area. The worse part was that even five days later I was still experiencing very painful stomach cramps and still having very fluid diarrhea. ... Show Full Comment
