Moviprep How to " stomach" (no pun intended)

I am really struggling Ive managed about 2/3s of a litre but I have another one to get through.

I am not a huge liquid drinker as it is so the suggested 4 liters is a lot asking of me (2 of movi prep and 2 of other liquids)

I have found suggestions to make it up and have it cold and tried that for the 2nd lot and so far the best one is taking half a glass every 5 mins and downing it that seems to work better but OMG its nasty stuff

Anyone got any good ways to get it down?

I alternate a glass with a glass of full fat coke. Otherwise I just gag it back up again. My gastroenterologist praised my pristine bowel, so it must have worked.

Drink it through a straw as far back in your mouth as you can. You miss some of the flavour opportunities that wat.

I was advised not to have coke on all of my preps.

I've been told only clear fluids. I meant to buy Lemonade but forgot. So I am stuck with pear and eldeflower squash. but omg its baddd

Yes definitely a straw works quite well. I have had to have it so many times (very very unfortunately) and I have now developed a technique which I think works. I put it all in a jug and fill up a small glass about every 10 mins. I drink the whole glass in one continuous sip (with my lips sort of pursed) and it goes down quite quickly. It’s grim but it does work in my opinion!

Was also advised nothing dark to drink. Can add light coloured squash to the moviprep but not dark ie black currant.

Good luck!!

All I have is sympathy. I really struggled too. Hope it’s all gone soon!

ChloeIsabel · 25/11/2019 19:32

I hold my nose and gulp it down. Good luck with it, it's horrible stuff.

Light coloured non carbonated mixer. Sadly absolutely none of them make it any less gross. I've been known to vomit after glasses. Lime is what my consultant swears by... I wouldnt. I literally focused on a glass at a time. That was it.
Best of luck. You will get there eventually

I puke it all back up and then the hospital give me a Fleet when I get there Smile

Enko · 25/11/2019 19:56

Ok, 1 litre down wish me luck for the 2nd.

next time ask if picolax is suitable for you. much less liquid and the taste is easier to disguise.
and it works very well.

KittenLedWeaning · 25/11/2019 20:01

Alternate with sips of any light coloured drink.

Get up and walk round between mouthfuls.

Good luck!

Agreed on the Picolax. Much easier to deal with. The sheer volume of Moviprep is ridiculous; I couldn't even drink that much water, let alone something that make me hurl.
