Started drinking TryLyte solution at 7:30 am for a 2:00 pm Colonoscopy procedure. Drank it lemon flavored and finished it at 10:00 am. 11 visits to the bathroom and I'm almost clear. I did not get sick drinking it. My 10 Recommendations: 1.Play some good music like "I hold on" by Dirks Bentley or "I am Woman" by Helen Reddy. 2. Drink it cold and fast. 3. Mark off your drinks every 10 min...
Barely tolerable but effective. Coul not maintain the dosage schedule but managed the amount within 8 hours. Free one gallon container is an ecological waste. Am wondering if this stuff is just glorified and over-priced epsom salts?

By the third liter I got a serious heachache and burning feeling in my throat and stomach - like bad indigestion. Had to sleep sitting up because it felt like it was coming back up on me. I couldn't finish all the prep.

Ifound that not using the flavor packets better. I did not have to use the full amount as it worked very quickly and effectively.

This tasted so awful I could barely swallow it without gagging it back up. It was effective, but the taste was incredibly awful.

I was afraid it was going to be horrible tasting, but with the cherry / citrus berry packets tasted pretty good...just a lot of it. Was a better experience than anticipated. Will use Trilyte again! Now my wife is going to do it.

My mother had to take this medication for a regular yearly check up. Something she has done plenty of times in the past. However this time she ran into some serious complications. It is very important to relay any abnormal bowel movements and or pain to your doctor, caregiver and pharmacist. Perhaps the doctor might want to run a CT or MRI of that area prior to taking this medication. As it turns out she had a blockage which was exasperated by the medication and she needed emergency hospitalization and surgery. So it is very important to relay any unusual painful experience to your medical provider as soon as possible.Read More Read Less

I found it very difficult to drink all 4 litres of this. It is too bad that they can't make a product that works with only 8 or 16 oz. This product worked but I did not drink all of the product. I could only keep it down with a sprite chaser immediately.

I did ok until the last glass was very nausaeted, so waited 30 min. after that glass I immediately vomited probally lost 1/3 of the product, at 9:30pm after I laid down my arms, legs began to jerk uncontrolably, it was 2:30 in the morning before I got any rest, in the morning still nauseated, am hoping it worked enough to have my colonscopy without a repeat.

The preparation began to work the day after my procedure...and 7 days later, it is STILL "working". This was a most "distasteful" experience.

I was very scared about using this product since I had problems before with Golytely in the past... I did like the idea of choosing a flavor... Pineapple worked for me and I thought it tasted pretty good... I also ate very litely that last few days

maintained schedule for first two liters with the expected results. While taking the third liter I got chills and a headache and had to slow down. While taking the fourth liter I experenced severe nausea and vomiting. It took me 5 hours to finish the dosage and took another four for the desired and undesired effects to diminish. Make sure you allow lots of time for this medication. The desired effects resulted in a couple of bathroom trips during the night and several the next morning before the procedure.Read More Read Less
