Tips for successful colonoscopy prep

When I did my last colonoscopy prep recently, I found alternating sips of a sweet drink like applejuice along with liquid prep made me have less nausea and it worked out well. I even pinched my nose a bit so as not to taste the prep so much. Maybe this would help you too. I get polyps in my colon so a colonoscopy is a necessity to have them removed. Give it another try, telling yourself you have to do this for your own health. Good luck to you!

@js2022 my doc advised taking a zofran to avoid throwing up the prep. It worked fine…I found it easier to mix the MiraLax with Gatorade. Rinsing your mouth frequently during prep helps…sometimes it helps to use a Fleet enema the day of to be as clear as possible.
