Movicol for colonoscopy

[shutupandgotosleep]

No I am not the poo/pants/toilet troll and yes I have been around on MN for quite a while.

As the title says really. 8 packets of the stuff to be precise. Just done my first 2 dissolved in one of the kids fruit shoots (I was told that this was the best way to hide the taste) but Christ on a bike it's rough.
And I look 6 months pregnant to boot.

However the alternative of the bowel cancer that runs in my family is a whole lot less pleasant.

6 packets of the slimy foul stuff and 750ml liquid to go. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can hide it in next vodka or any way to get it down or even make it slightly more palatable.

And how likely is it before it err....... takes effect?

I know this sounds weird, but: cold soup. The stuff is salty, so try drinking it in something savoury like gazpacho (which is meant to be eaten cold). Or, if you have to have low-residue white foods, cold bouillon.

Ds (movicol veteran) just reminded me that he used to take it in really nice cordial made up stronger than usual.
