I am not greatly troubled by the taste of the GoLytely; I suck on a lemon before drinking it. I”m having a hard time understanding what I could do in what the doctor calls “expanded” prep as I’m already drinking two preps, one per day. I’m fasting for two days, and limited diet for a week leading up to the procedure. My plan is to get an appointment with doctor or nurse and discuss my history and what can be done. My maternal grandfather and uncle died from colon cancer. I was tested to see if i have the colon cancer gene and I did not, but was told with the high numbers of polyps I’ve had, it’s likely I have a gene that has not been found yet. I have read your posts with interest and concern for your precancerous polyps. I’m thankful for this online support group.

Ask your doctor if you can do the gatorade and ducal ax prep. Also two days before I do a herbal laxative tea.
