I'm a 58 YOF, 190 lbs, going for my 2nd colonoscopy. After hating my previous experience with Golytly, then having a bad experience with MoviPrep, I opted for Nulytely this time due to the lower sodium content. Ate very lightly Monday, then clear liquids Tuesday. Mixed Nulytely with regular powdered Countrytime Lemonade mix, since I detest the taste of artificial sweeteners and Gatorade. The real...
I had my first colonoscopy Wednesday. I was instructed to drink clear liquids all day then begin drinking this "cocktail" at 4:00pm. I had to drink 8 oz. every 10 minutes until I drank all 4 LITERS or until everything ran clear.

I wish there was a better alternative . I dread having the colonoscopy because of this stuff ..it makes me vomit (even thinking about it . I have never managed to drink it all .. Please please someone invent a better way .
I cannot think of any reason why something else that would work better is not used, like pills or something that tastes good. This is the worst part of the colonoscopy process. I have a test coming up this fall, and because of the taste, I dread it.

I started drinking at 1pm had to skip an hr. Started back in mid hour, I started going, seems like every few moments I had to go. The stuff tastes like Pedialyte (bit salty), I feel a might water logged but I must say... I think that by the time I've finished the whole bottle my colon should be squeaky clean when the doctor begins my colonoscopy.

I've drank 3/4 of this bottle and have not had 1 bm. I feel sick, dizzy, weak in the legs, and the last 8 oz I drank started to come back up. Yeck, I don't like this stuff at all.
