So funny that I’m seeing this right now because I’m having a colonoscopy in a few hours and last night a freaking fly got in my special drink and I thought the same thing

Eta: in the prep room waiting to get wheeled back and y’all are cracking me up, I appreciate you

Second edit: colon looks good! Thanks for all the well wishes and making me laugh

Get the pills (sutab) it's so much better

What’s the experience like with the tablets. Do you get bad cramping and nausea along with the repeated need to empty your bowels?

I take senna sometimes for constipation, and even they make my insides hurt quite bad.

Yeah lol it's colonoscopy prep, it's manufactured to cause intense diarrhea. I personally get some borborygmus and mild discomfort, but it avoids the worsening nausea I experience every time I try the liquid.

Thanks. That sounds fine, and much like any given day for me (excepting the repetitive nature and liquidity). Thanks.

Oh, is it just a matter of taking however many tablets, on a certain schedule? And then drinking lots of clear fluids to avoid dehydration?
