 1  Colonoscopy Vomiting profusely, shaking, chills, migraine. I started drinking the solution and actually didn't think it was as horrible as I had been told. It was easy to take. However, my body totally rejected it after about an hour and I vomited it all out. I never had diarrhea, but the other effects had me stuck in bed for about 24 hours. I was unable to complete the solution and had to cancel my procedure. I hope there is an alternative route to get this done without the horrible effects that came along with Nulytely. I would not recommend. F 42 1 days

 1  colonoscopy prep drank this poison on 7/7/15, close to death for 6 months, I now have chemical colitis and permanent never damage that is incurable as per my physician. From my mouth to my rectum was burned from this poison. I have spent my entire life savings on treatments trying not to die. The only reason this is given to medicare pts is because it is the one medicare will pay for. In my past I had 7 other colonoscopies without a problem. This drug has destroyed my life from what I had prior to taking the drug.I am basically a shut in a go only to the doctor or to purchase supplements.It is always about money for the drug companies, not for the safety of the patients. My advice to everyone is don't take this poison as there are many gentle cleansers available, medicare just wont pay. F 77 1 days

 1  colonoscopy prep Absolutley Horrible! The taste is disgusting and iit is so nauseating. The only reason doctors use this vile chemical is because in the case of Medicare, that is what they approve. Guess why? It is all about MOney! The insurance companies dictate what meds we can and cannot have, not the doctors...Drank this most horrific solutions, cleaned out, lost 6 pounds in less than 24 hours, vomited, had a migraine headache and a full blown Meniere's attack. My gut was completely robbed of all good flora. I have been taking pharmaceutical probiotics for a month and my gut and stomach still feel as though they are being eaten from the inside.. I have had 7 i.vs trying to replace the fluids I lost. Tuesday will be exactly 4 weeks and I am still very ill. I did call the company but all they wanted to know was what color is the label? they didn't seem concerned at all. Adding that I am 74, female and weigh 110-112. I have had 5 previous colonoscopies with no problem what so ever with the prep F 74

 1  For a colonoscopy HORRIBLE!!! Entire body is swollen. Can't even move ankles. Legs twice their normal size. My butt hole is inflamed & itches like crazy. Sores all over my mouth & lips. Even though I am high cancer risk I will NEVER do this prep again!!! I started this @ 3:30 p.m. the day before & was up all night. It took over 10 hours & still could not do the last 2 cups. It even said not to but it down the sink. That should tell you how awful this is on your body!!! Very bad side effects. Started the prep Sunday & it's Wednesday & still feel bad!! Still swollen & problems with my butt. M 71 1 days

 1  COLONOSCOPY PREP Gagging, Gagging, Gagging Vomit, Vomit, Vomit Did I mention gagging and Vomit Have had to take to take this 2 times and each time it was the same gagging and vomit after taking appox, 1 oz.. Went out to Walmart each time and found over the counter laxatives each time and took them. 3 Days before each test I went on a liquid diet broth, soda, beer, coffee. Each time was told I was cleaned out good. I would rather drink a gallon of someone's urine than this crap. Took 4 Bisacodyl pills a day for 3 days prion to test. That gallon may as well have been 500 gallons to me. M 63 1 days

 1  colonoscopy prep Massive bloating. Pain. Chills. No evacuation. At 9:30 this morning I had a breakfast of eggs, cereal, fruit. Nothing but liquid consumed since then. No bwl movement since three days ago and nothing still and it's now been SEVEN hours since I drank the first half gallon of this awful stuff. I was hoping to find a similar experience here but no one here seems to have had this problem. I'm becoming alarmed. Extreme bloating. Pain. Discomfort. Difficulty filling lungs due to fullness. I feel I'm going to explode like on movie Alien. Bad chills but those ended about two hours ago. I've eaten another 4 cups of jello since then. 12 midnight and I'm afraid to go to bed. Supposed to drink the other half at 4 AM but it will be impossible to fit anything else in my abdomen if nothing happens by then. If I survive, I'll report back. F 51 1 days

 1  Colonoscopy prep The expected ones I'm having my first colonscopy tomorrow and was told that it was nothing compared to the prep. They were right! I've been drinking 16 oz bottles of the awful stuff for about 2 hours now. When I first started it wasn't too terrible, but it is getting progressively worse the more I drink. I can barely think about it without gagging. I'm supposed to drink the entire gallon by 8 PM...HA! Something that's helped a bit is taking a sip of Sprite right before chugging the stuff and then another when finished. I don't understand for the life of me why this can't be taken in pill form. I can't wait for this to be over! F 28 1 days

 1  colonoscopy projectile vomiting, pounding headache, chills I am attempting to drink this. It seems to be having minimal effect to my lower GI tract. It feels like it gets as far as the mid-epigastric area and causing extreme nausea. I have never not been able to get to a toilet or trash recepticle if I've had to vomit (which is a very infrequent event), but i was about 10 feet from my bathroom and the vomiting was explosive and uncontrollable-all over floor, walls...disgusting.

 1  colonoscopy nausea, chills, bloating, cramps I am only half way through my 2 litre of nulytely as I write this. I am considering chucking the other half. My BM's already look like urine. This stuff is completely killing me. All I want to do is go to bed and it's 7pm!! I feel like it's given me the flu. I have almost vomited a few times and am not even sure I will be able to get through the second portion of the prep without vomiting. This stuff is so nasty, I mixed pineapple with cherry and the drink doesn't taste bad (as long as it's refrigerated), but it makes you feel horrible while you're drinking it.. I don't know how to explain it other than that. I wish there was a different way they could do this that wasn't so barbaric. F 29

 1  colonoscopy chills, runny noise, cold. KILL ME. I've had numerous colonoscopy's and haven't done the Nulytely in years. This is by far the worst of the preps. I've vomitted twice and I'm in hour 5 with a little more to go.....and nothing's happening yet. For all you who say just do it...try it then you have a right to comment! Hopefully I'll be ready to go by 9am, if not, like my opening says, kill me. F 43

 1  Colonoscopy Disgusting taste and texture. Supposed to drink 4 liters, starting with half the day of prep at 3 p.m., then the remaining 2 liters the morning of procedure at 3 a.m. I drank about 1 liter, and threw it all up. HOrrid stuff. Also got bad chills. I realize that whatever is in the compound in this prep stuff that moves your insides out pretty much has to be horrid. BUT, it seems that if we can get a man on the moon we could make this stuff a little more pallitable. This was my third colonoscopy. the other two used fleet phosphomax, which was a breeze, and the first was golytely, which was disgusting but did not make me puke. I spoke with one of the folks helping with the procedure and he said the problem with these solutions is if one person out of 100,000 has a problem, the stuff is yanked off the market. And so several better preps have fallen by the wayside. If you have to have this procedure, you may have to drink this stuff, and I sympathiZe and wish you good luck. F 59 1 days

 1  colonoscopy Nausea, headache, vomitting, loose stools, severe stomach pain I wouldn't give this to someone to torture them. This is the worst experience I have ever had in my life. When I drank that stuff it felt like I was poisoning myself. Within a few hours I had a headache, nauseated and bloated. Started throwing up around 6 hours later and that was after not even getting half of the stuff down. I tried to continue drinking, because my appointment was early the next morning, but couldn't. I threw up for two days, and almost a week later I still have stomach pain, nausea, and difficulty eating. I haven't been able to work, can finally get out of bed without feeling like I'm going to pass out, and the Dr continues to deny that I somehow reacted to this medicine. Of course they couldn't do the procedure, and so they want me to reschedule. We'll see if I can eat again. This stuff should be banned, I can not imagine ever inflicting this on anyone. M 47 1 days

 1  For colonoscopy I got very sick the morning of the procedure. I threw up several times and have been nauseated for about 7 days now and have had a headache every morning when I wake up. Also, I haven't had a good appetite. The thought of drinking Nulytely causes me to gag. Also, certain smells brings on the gagging. I can't eat certain foods now because of the way they taste.
