I'm getting my first colonoscopy: What's your advice?

I googled some information about "Suprep Bowel Kit." I am providing a link from WebMD. While it sounds too good to be true (just 2 small bottles) it appears that it is not meant for a lot of people with certain GI disorders. It is important to read the side Effects, Precautions, as well as some of the Reviews. Here is the link:

From what I have read, it will probably not be a bowel prep for many of us suffering from GI disorders of various types. It is also quite costly.

My gastro said much more safer than a huge jug of dangerous laxative. Everything carries a few risks..but this is by far, the best thing and safest for Colonoscopy. Much less risk than putting antifeeze in your body..? Also, my insurance paid for mine. If you Google Miralax, or what you are taking, lots of risks mentioned for those of us like me with intestinal disorders. I hope you consider it. But if not, best of luck to you. ☺🌹x

I recently had another dreaded prep for colonoscopy. I have had severe GI issues for many years= many colonoscopies with inadequate and sickening prep with jugs , Mira lax etc. This year I got SupPrep. The best so far and good results.
