All I can tell you is I was no nauseated by a sample spoonful of the laxatice

used to prep

for a colonoscuoy b/c of the Polyethylene glycol that I had to use colonic

irrigation to

prepare. Polyethylene glycol is an ingredient in anti-freeze. It is an osmotic

laxative and

laxatives are not advised for SCD,

Thanks so much. Ours has no taste. It is polyethylene glycol 3350, NF

powder for solution. I took her off it for SCD, but it often helps

pain and fissures from Crohns. However, I'm still avoiding at this

time. I just thought Elaine said avoid, but one could take if part of

their medical routine. I'll continue to avoid.

JT,

Elaine said if you are prescribed medication and absolutely need it, take it

even if it's SCD

illegal. I don't think I would classify a laxative as vital medicine but as

Elaine always used

to say in jest, " What do I know? "
