My doc told me ysterday that if I started feeling like I wass going to vomit to just slow down on drinking this stuff wait till I felt better then proceed as directed. I can't keep this crap down. I drink 8-10 ounces wait anywhere from 10-20 minutes and then get down another 4 ounces start feeling queasy then puke within 5 minutes. I can't keep throwing it up or I won't be ready for my scope tomorrow...what the hell?!? And I have to drink 4 LITERS of this stuff?!?!

You can try adding a flavor mix light crystal light lemonade to it or put it on ice so it is really cold. Sometimes this helps. OR call the doc or radiology dept at the hospital immediately and tell them you cannot keep the stuff down. There are other prep solutions that can be used even if this is the doc's preference. There are some that have less liquid to take or a different consistency and may be better tolerated. Good Luck!! H And ...there are some that are pills I heard also.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Every colonoscopy I've had I didn't make it through the whole gallon. I got only half of it down, at best. I could not drink it as fast as they said to and after a certain amount, I couldn't keep it down. They told me that as long as I was running clear out the other end that I was ok. (Sorry for the poopy talk.) Call the Dr. when in doubt. Cliff H. > Ok..so what am I doing wrong.
