To ask if anyone has ever had to drink this vile stuff?

[el1zabeth]

I know this isn't really an AIBU topic, but it seems to get the most response when posting here hence my reason for doing so. I have a colonoscopy booked for the morning and I have to drink 2 litres of the most vile drink known as Moviprep. It's supposed to clear you out in order for the bowel to be completely empty for the procedure, but I just don't think I can drink it all. I have until around midnight to consume it but it's soooooo vile, it's already making me heave when I take a mouthful. I hold my nose when I sip it so I can't taste it fully, however, the last sip made me heave so much that I think it's going to come up rather than 'go downwards' to do the job it was meant for. Has anyone else ever had to drink this and if so, are there any tips on what I can do to get it down?

As soon as I saw the thread title, I knew what it was.:o

I had this the first time, about ten years ago, and I was in tears with the nausea, though subsequent ones rely more on tablets, less on the liquid laxative so much better than the first time.

Last time I used Picolax, which was a bit slow, but worked.

Judging by what my doctors said, the massive laxative drinks are so foul that patients often don't complete so the whole point of the exercise, i.e. a sparkly clean back passage, is not achieved. It's this that made them revise the regime (in Australia).

Good luck, OP.

Mine was vanilla flavoured
I've never been able to eat or drink vanilla flavoured foods or drinks since without gagging.
Even the smell of vanilla turns me

On the other hand consultant to me my bowels was beautiful.
