| 3 | Goat piss might test better. It cleaned me out but had to drink it slower than recommended due to nausea caused by drinking it. Therefore I was up and on the commode until morning. Had to stop drinking it at midnight because it's npo from then until colonoscopy. | If medical scientists can come up with this concoction, they should be smart enough to make their product palatable. A curse on them all requiring them to drink it themselves | F | 70 | 1 days 1X day | 4/11/2016 | 1 | Colonoscopy prep | The taste is horrible and you have to drink far too much to get results. In this day and time they should have a better system to cleanse your colon. | F | 30 | 1 days | 4/6/2016 | 1 | colonoscopy prep | I do not recall any "side effects" the first time 10 years ago other than the obvious. HOWEVER, this time around was awful! Sick to my stomach, chills, shakes, headache & constantly freezing cold. | This is barbaric. In todays day & age there HAS to be a better way to achieve the same results than this! | F | 54 | 1 days 1 gallon | 3/29/2016 | 3 | Already took it will never again i. | My heart stopped for 6seconds while under its ben a week or so im still bloated fartin all the time have probs with my bowels feels like i have 2 go n nothin but dropplets come out NEVER AGAIN!!!god bless | DONT DO IT IF U DONT HAVE 2 😰😨😱 | F | 52 | 1 weeks | 3/27/2016 | 1 | Preparation for Colonoscopy | EXTREME PAIN - not cramping - SEARING TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN PAIN in my back and stomach. I was in the hospital, and I refused to take any more, and had to be given Morphine and Dulaudid to make the extreme "made-me-cry-like-a-baby" pain I experienced. | NEVER EVER UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL I EVER TAKE THIS GARBAGE AGAIN!! | M | 68 | 1 days 1 Gallon 1X day | 3/16/2016 | 3 | Colonoscopy | Omg!!! Thank God I started the day before taking a drink called Magnesium Citrate. Along with 2 laxatives. That was the best thing I could have done. IT took a while that day to move the stool, but towards the evening, it started working. The next day was the prep day. Was on a clear liquid diet. Added water and Crystal lite to mix, two packs were good for a gallon. I used the yellow lemonade, due to thinking the pink had red dye...put in fridge for a few hours to chill. 7p.m started my first 8 oz glass... I pinched my nose, and gulped it down.. Not too bad. By the third glass, with 15 minutes in between, was starting to get difficult. 5th glass, started to gag. felt nauseous and bloated, was getting cold chills. Took a few baths and then started the bowel movements. ..No pain or cramps, due to starting the day earlier with my concoction I named above..So, I didn't have that much to move through intestines... I lost track of how many times I went to bathroom, but thank you God f | F | 53 | 1 days 1X day | 2/23/2016 | 1 | Colonoscopy | It was the worst experience ever still dealing with the side effects. Had taken it 5 days ago and can not stop the diarrhea it caused. Going to try activia yogurt to replace some of the good bacteria and hopefully that'll stop the diarrhea. It made me feel sick and disoriented which is hard to take care of three young children when you just feel like you're dying. I will never in my life do this again. It was thick nasty and the flavor was awful. It caused severe cramps bloating nausea vomiting headache. Would never recommend this | F | 38 | 1 days | 2/16/2016 | 1 | colonoscopy | Most God awful taste ever imaginable to expect to consume 4 liters in 3 hours. Do what u gotta do I suppose. The lemon pack that came with it possibly made it worse... I've had this before but was given the 2 liter not 4. Plus 6 hours to drink it in and a pill before hand that started bowel movements then drank the drink which offered 4 flavors. No problem worked like a charm. Whereas this 4 liters of poison only made my stomach look to be 6 months pregnant, bloat, severe cramping, dizzy and 3 hours into the drink and all but 2 8 oz left to go. When I could not bare the pain any longer and had to lay down. Leaving me having to plan on cancelling the appointment all together since not one bowel movement. I then prayed nothing happened as I passed out and woke up 530 covered in my own filth. Yuck.... seriously not feeling well at all making for an extremely very poopy day. With having to reschedule and after mother traveled 3 hours to help me out with getting me to n from and sitting with me 6 hours after. If that's really even needed... words of advice avoid 4 liters at all cost there are other options | F | 40 | 1 days 4 liters | 2/5/2016 | 5 | constipation | Nauseated | M | 50 | 1 days 1 gallon | 1/21/2016 | 5 | Colonoscopy | Typical side effects. Only a little nausea from taste but I didn't use any flavoring. | On the container it said for best results, no solid food should be consumed for the 3 to4 hour period before drinking solution. Not sure if I should say this but but ate a full meal and finished it at 4:30pm and started drinking the solution at 8:40pm finished at 2am. Drinking 12-18oz at a time. Started having to go to the bathroom at about 10:45pm. My stool cleared up at about 1:15am drank a little more to make sure my colon was clear. Doctor said I was cleaned out. I had to lie to doctors cause I know they wouldn't have approved. If what I did doesn't work for you it will cost you in the end. If I had done what everyone else did or if this hadn't worked I wouldn't have written this post. | M | 52 | 1 days | 1/16/2016 | 4 | colonoscopy | No side effects | The taste wasn't too bad. I didn't add the flavor packs. I drink iced tea in between. I finished drinking it 2 hours after starting. Twenty minutes later and I am still in the bathroom. I am hoping to be out of here in another hour or so. Hopefully I will be go to go in the morning for the 'alien hiney probe'. | F | 51 | 1 days | 1/7/2016 | 1 | Colonoscopy | Nausea, bloating | This was the worst experience- ever. Would not repeat it. I took the pineapple (was not given a choice- pre-mixed - no option provided). The sicky-sweet odor along with the thickness of the liquid were barely tolerable. I was nauseated from the first sip. Yes it was well-chilled. Tried Crystal Light but it could not overcome the pineapple flavor & scent. Finally figured out that for me all that worked was holding my nose & gulping, then gulping soda before letting go of my nose (used diet Canada Dry ginger ale) followed by a cup of peppermint tea for each cup ingested. Did not get dehydrated due to the one-for-one liquids, plus plenty of liquid throughout the day, so no headache. Started split prep at 5:30 yesterday, and completed first half at about 9:00. Off & on in bathroom till midnight. Got up at 3:00 & completed second round at 5:30. Appt at 9. Was clear & 8 (!) polyps found, so clearly needed the colonoscopy, but asked the nurses for advice for the next one & they agreed that they would use prepopik. Said that there are always options if you ask- I should have- now I know. | F | 54 | 1 days 4 l 1X day | 12/31/2015 | 1 | Colonoscopy prep | Severe shaking in all extremities, feeling of constant cold through whole body and severe migraine. | Horrible pain during prep | F | 60 | 1 days 1 gallon | 12/15/2015 | 1 | colonescapy | Nausea, headache | You should refuse to use this, it is cruel and harsh. Is a understatment. | M | 55 | 1 days 8 oz | 12/15/2015 | 1 | colonoscopy | seizures horrible!! Due to low sodium-I had no idea this could happen. There should be more warning on the label! | I had to be admitted to the hospital for 3 days in the ICU. I can't drive now. I had to take off lots of time from work. It cost me so much! Not worth it! | F | 59 | 1 days 1X day | 12/14/2015 | 3 | Colonoscopy | Everybody complains about the horrible Tate and how they would rather die then drink this stuff . Idk it was bad, but not as bad as these people are making it seem. It Has a similar taste to alka seltzer which is gross but come on, I'm sure there are worse things to be consuming . I downed the solution cup after cup till half was of the jug was gone . Had first bowel movement about a hour and 20 after first swig, and I started running clear about 2 hours laters. | M | 1 days 4 liters | 11/29/2015 | 4 | colonoscopy prep | ive had 8 of these. i had cancer once. cancer sucks. follow directions. eat bland diet starting a week ahead and go to a soft/liquid diet 2 days prior. give your bowels a fighting chance folks. | follow directions | M | 60 | 1 days 2 gallons 1X day | 11/22/2015 | 1 | Did not work | F | 37 | 1X day | 10/23/2015 | 4 | colonoscopy prep | Mild stomach cramps | Wasn't near as bad as I expected. I used the crystal light lemonade packets and didn't add the whole packet (it became too harsh after the first few at full strength). | F | 45 | 1 days | 10/22/2015 | 1 | Colonoscopy.. It ought be outlawed. | The stuff don't work. This is 4th try as I had cancel 3 times made me sick as a dog. It finally worked day after I had to cancel for the 3rd time. Doctors could do better but they get big kick backs. My Dr's refuse to give me anything else. Wonder when someone will have a lawsuit get it off the market? If it's human they won't give to you. | It ought be taken off the market. It's cruel. I had cancer and this is almost impossible to take. I suggest a label stating not for Human consumption. | M | 65 | 2 days 2 gal | 10/16/2015 |
