I've heard about a Miralax/gatorade prep. (Using Elyte instead of the

gatorade) Has anyone ever tried this and did it clean you out enough? I

have read Marilyn's article (Thanks Marilyn!) about her prep, I was

wondering what was succesful for others. I have a hard time keeping those

mixtures down.

Yes, Dave Barry's description could definitely put one off the

Movi-Prep!

Glad the article was helpful -- I know several people here have used

Miralax, but I don't have any personal information on it.

The one thing I do know, from continued reading, is that the " two

pronged " cleanout, where you drink half the Yucky Beverage and clean

out, then wait about six hours, and have the second half about four hours

before your procedure gives the best preparation.
