| 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 | 1 | Colonoscopy | This stuff is not much better than drinking motor oil, very foul tasting. This is my second scope procedure. The first was 10 yrs ago and the prep was with magnesium citrate, much better tasting and achieved the same results. Golytely does not rate very high on my list, although there were no adverse side effects I would rather endure a long enema to prepare. God there has to be a better tasting prep! | Not recommended! My god the after taste is horrible! Got 6 glasses to go! S..T! | M | 60 | 1X day | 10/8/2015 | 1 | colonoscopy | This liquid you have to drink is TERRIBLE! I managed but this is the 21st century and we can do better! If I was in the mojave desert and this was the only liquid to drink, I would rather die of thirst! Disgusting! So ready for the colonoscopy tomorrow! It surely will be easier then the suffering from drinking this poison! | This stuff is disgusting! You can use it for a truth syrum! | F | 58 | 1 days 4 liters | 9/9/2015 | 1 | colonoscopy | Intestines completely swelled shut. Unable to pass any stools. Tremendous pain and swelling of the abdomen. | Horrifying experience. Colonoscopy was a waste of time because bowel prep did not work. | F | 48 | 1 days | 9/6/2015 | 1 | bowel prep colonoscopy | Started working eight minutes after drinking the first 240ML. label says 45 min to one hour. I had poop all over the bed, carpet and clothes. Sat on toilet from 3:00P.M to 7:30 A.M.next day. Got up went to procedure, still leaking poop when returning home four hours later. Stayed on toilet from 1:00 P.M. til 8:00 A.M. next day. Had to call manufacturer to get info on how to reverse effects. I called the dr's office four times, but they could have cared less. | Very potent product. Needs to contain labeling that says, : This medication is very potent. It causes explosive diarrhea 8-10 minutes after first dose. You should be seated on the toilet when starting this medication and remain seated until at least six hours after drinking the last glass. This medication causes gas, cramping and "accidents: which can lead to permanent staining of clothing, furniture, and carpets." After ruining a brand new mattress, every piece of clothing in the house and every carpet in the house, please listen to this message. This was a very expensive thing for me. | M | 58 | 1 days 1820 ML 10X day | 5/23/2015 | 1 | have a pillcam procedure tomorrow 3 | no side effects, other than gross tasting. Would recommend the preopick | I did the full mixture of golytely and added the water mixture to crystal light lemonade. | F | 25 | 1 days 2 qts | 3/11/2015 | 1 | colonoscopy | Feeling sick with some nausea. | Drink fast. Horrible after taste, so wash down with 7up. I mixed mine with 7up to help dilute the terrible flavor. | F | 45 | 1 days | 3/9/2015 | 1 | Colonoscopy prep | bloating, nausea, gagging | Horrible taste. I can't get the rest of it down... at this point I don't care if they cancel my test. I'm NEVER doing this again. I've had other preps and this is the worst ever. I can't believe the stupid doctor would prescribe this and that the company that makes it is still in business. | F | 63 | 1X day | 1/22/2015 | 1 | 2nd colonoscopy | Extreme nausea | The nausea, gagging and taste makes me not care what is causing my abdominal pain | F | 42 | 1 days 1 jug | 12/30/2014 | 1 | 12 yr old daughter for constipation | EyelEyelashes fell out, eyebrows and body hair fell out, now has irregular heart beat. Has to be seen not only by GI doc but dermatologist and cardiologist as well. Hospital pumped 12 gallons of it in her ng tube at a rate of 400ml/hr. Very sick child | Do NOT take this if you are under 16. There is a reason the FDA says this. We spoke to golytely toxicology and he said it is poison to the body. This stuff is usex in antantifreeze and so forth. Can cause ADD, ADHD, heart problems, seizures, kidney failure and death. THANK TO HER GI doc and hospital our daughter is no home schooled, no friends, out of dance and tumbling and is miserable. | F | 12 | 7 days | 12/18/2014 | 1 | Colonoscopy | This stuff is so gross. You can put a man on the moon but can't make a freaking pill? | F | 52 | 1 days 1 gallon | 6/19/2014 | 1 | To prepare for a colonoscopy | Had to drink 8 ounces every fifteen minutes till half a gallon was consumed. Tomorrow morning I have to repeat this procedure till the rest is consumed. I've never drunk lemon-flavored monkey urine, but it wouldn't surprise me if it tasted like this stuff. The people who sell it should have to drink it every day till they come up with something less disgusting. | M | 62 | 2 days 1 GAL 1X O | 5/11/2014 | 1 | Can't poop!!! | I took this stuff almost 9 hours ago and nothing. I drank 3 liters which is how much it says should take to work! I sat on the toilet for hours and still can't get anything to come out! | F | 21 | 1 days 3 liters | 10/26/2013 | 1 | Colonoscopy | Burning anus. Bloating. Diarrhea. Terrible taste. | F | 21 | 1 days | 8/22/2013 | 1 | colonoscopy | Had rashes. Blood pressure spiked and continues to spike after 9 months. A feeling of dizziness for no reason. Cannot find reasons from dermatology or cardiologist. Beware. | M | 66 | 1 days 30mg | 6/10/2013 | 1 | prepare for laparoscopy | its been 48 hours since I drank this crap. My stomach feels like I had abdominal surgery (which I didn't cause it was cancelled). Hurts to sit up, turn, lay down, etc. Hyperactive bowels sounds. Never completely cleared my system out. headache for two days now | F | 33 | 1 days 8 ounces 6X H | 4/18/2013 | 1 | colonoscopy prep | 8 oz every 15 minutes nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, painful bowel movements, terrible salty spoiled stale pineapple aftertaste.... Made each following cup worse than the last. | This stuff should be banned from production! Though it worked, another formula needs to be created. I regurgitated every cup... Mind you the test was because of my nausea, you would think there were another method recommended by the Dr... Thank goodness I'm in the clear for 20 more years. Maybe a new product will be out by then | F | 29 | 4 liters 1X O | 3/1/2013 | 1 | Colonoscopy | Chills, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea | I am currently drinking this lovely mixture. Started drinking at 5:00 PM, puked twice, and am still drinking it (it is now currently 2:00 AM). As strange as this sounds, luckily I had a horrendous bout of the stomach flu yesterday that cleared out my system pretty well. I don't know if I'll be able to finish the Colyte, but everything is coming out clear, for the most part, except for a yellow coloration and some leftover dregs in my system. Seriously, though, this stuff is God Awful. I've never been so sick from medicine before. I just hope I "pass" and go into the colonoscopy ok since it will probably take me a total of 12 hours to finish this horrible stuff. | F | 26 | 1 days 4 liters 2X day | 2/19/2013 | 1 | Colonoscopy prep | Worst stuff ever! Horrible nausea, gagging, puking, cramping, bloating, gas pain, sticky salty saliva. Will NEVER do this again! | F | 30 | 1 days 4 liters | 7/15/2012 | 1 | colonoscopy | Bp went up & had to go to the hosp.emergence dept. I also am having a salty taste in my mouth, & over all icky feeling. Will never take this stuff again | F | 70 | 1 days | 4/1/2012 |
