on which one is considered the best to clean you out? Also which is tolerated best by someone in their 70s? Thanks.

The pills are not too bad if you distract yourself with an interesting movie on the TV. The distraction is the key. Also regarding the chicken broth, go to your favorite Chinese restaurant and get the won ton soup broth minus the won ton noodles. It will be a salty flavorful liquid soup that is a substitute for the food one is missing during the prep.

Well for me.. 12 pills total.. 6.. one every 15 minutes with 8oz water.. no time for distraction.. just swallow and gulp!! Then about a 2-4 hour break..and do it all over..this time with horrific cramps!! And they were so huge!! Perhaps my gastro used a different kind.. thank you for the suggestion about the broth..that helps alot!!!!
