| 4 | colonoscopy Prep | Mild bloating until all of the solution was passed, mild nausea at the 2 hr milemark(see comments for explanation). | 09/29/06 - First, I want to thank all those who came before me and endured this process. It gave me a lot of ideas on how to avoid the worst of the prep. I hava a highly analytical mind so did a lot of thinking about what causes the worst problems with the test and how to avoid them. I got suckered into taking a colonoscopy screen when I went in for a general physical. The gastro office sent me a day-by-day diet and prep sheet, starting 4 days out. I immediately did a web search and found this site to see what I was getting into. The sheet said that on Test day -3 to and -2 to be on low fiber diet, on T -1 to be only liquid. T -2 and T -1, it said to drink the equivalent of a 2-liter of water. My test was scheduled for 3:30pm on a Friday. The whole point of the Nulytely solution is to clean you out. The less time you have the drink the stuff, the better. What goes in normally takes 24-36 hrs to come out the other end. The Nulytely solution causes things to go about 25-30 ti | M | 56 | 1 days | 9/30/2006 | 4 | colon probe | a weird feeling of not being myself/anxious | i USED LEMOn lime< went down ok< remember to shake it good let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours, use a measuring cup, down it fast, 10 oz at a time every 10 mins and don't forget to shake the jug before every 10 oz glass refill then u won't have as many side effects. | M | 30 | 1 days | 9/28/2006 | 4 | Colonoscopy | Nothing out of the ordinary that can be described as out of the ordinary by taking the product..Nothing unexpected..Having one's colon cleasned by any method is never the most pleasant experience...This was not that bad. | I have a very sensitive GI system...This product was easier to deal with and consume than GOLYTELY..For those who have rated the product as a 1, I am not on the "take" from the company that produces the product,getting a "kickback" from the pharmacy industry for giving it a 4, or receving a special treatment from my gastroenterologist! | M | 60 | 1 days | 9/25/2006 | 4 | colonoscopy | slight gagging, slight bloating | metal taste. I chased it with Gatorade. It worked, but it took me a while to get it all down. At the end, I started chugging less than 8 oz. It took 5 1/2 hrs. I would do it again, if I had to. I don't think the rating is whether you liked this procedure, but rather whether the product worked. In my case, it did work. Not that big of a deal. | M | 51 | | 8/7/2006 | 4 | colonoscopy prep | Nothing unexpected | Of course I would have preferred a Bombay Saphire martini, straight up, shaken, but Nulytely wasn't the worst thing I've ever had to drink. My trick was to drink it while staring at the food in the pantry and concentrating on the memories of tastes of all the goodies stored there. | M | 53 | 1 days | 6/27/2006 | 4 | Colonoscopy Prep | There were no side effects, but the bowel contractions continued to produce gas and liquid, for six hours after finishing the 3 Liters I used to clean out my bowel. | I started the prep at 3 PM. The taste is gross, even cold! I used it without flavoring, because all of the flavors contain Maltodextrin, which gives me gas. I drank an 8 ounce glass every 10 minutes until 12 glasses were swallowed. Since I fasted for the entire day, it only took 4 or 5 glasses to clean me out. | M | 63 | 1 days | 4/2/2006 | 4 | Surgery | The side effects were not that bad. It tastes awful and is hard to swallow. It worked for me after 4 hours and successfully flushed out my system in a short time. | F | 30 | 1 days | 3/23/2006 | 4 | colonoscopy prep | mild chill, nausea, vomiting | After reading posted comments, I was very apprehensive about drinking the Nulytely. My apprehension was unwarrented. The taste of the liquid is not very good, but I have had picnic lemonade that was worse, so I just thought of it as bad lemonade. Bowel movements began about one hour after I started to drink. I had done a very light diet (mostly liquid) for three days before, so there was little residue remaining. When I had about a quart left, I decided to try to chug it just to get done. This was a mistake, as I then threw up a lot of it. My recommendation: eat lightly on the days before the prep, adopt an easygoing attitude, and don't be as worried as I was. The overall experience was not at all as bad as I anticipated! Relax. The colonoscopy can be a lifesaving test, well worth the slight inconvenience. | F | 59 | 1 days | 1/25/2006 | 4 | Colonoscopy preparation | none | This is the 2nd time I have had to have a colonoscopy, The first time I used Golytely and it was terrible. I gagged and couldn't finish it. This time I tried Nulytely because I understood it had less sodium content and used flavoring. It tastes bad too but not nearly as bad as Golytely. I got the 8oz glasses down without much effort and felt the effects in about 40 minutes. The lemon-lime flavor was ok. | M | 53 | 1 days | 12/30/2005 | 4 | Colon Prep | None | Great Stuff, drink it all the time... | M | 23 | | 10/24/2005 | 4 | Clonoscopy | Mild bloating, slight nausea, no cramps, some chilling at first until liquid warmed up. | Not as bad as expected after reading other comments. Boated for the first few glasses but OK after the first bowel movement. After some experimentation, found the best method was chugalugging. More palatable if taken on the side with Crystal Light lemonade. Finished the 4 liters in about 3 hours. Started defacating after the 8th glass. Turned cloudy yellow after the 12th glass. Took about 25 to 30 bowel movements to completely evaculate the intestines. Next time I hope they either develope a tasteless version or in pill form taken with 4 liters of plain water. | M | 69 | 1 days | 7/25/2005 | 4 | colonoscopy | bloating, thorough blast cleanse...lol | started to evacuate after 90 min or so. This is like Liquid Plumber for the guts...Palatable taste w lemon-lime? Maybe the first 3 glasses...after that it becomes kinda salty and yucchy. Challenging to down the whole deal even w/in 4 hrs. | M | 39 | 1 days | 7/20/2005 | 4 | Colonoscopy Prep | Minor chills. Feeling full/bloated. | My pharmacist also recommended lemon/lime flavor. Refrigerated for eight hours. I drank each 8oz glass as quickly as possible. Tasted like watered down lemon/lime Gatorade with a licorice aftertaste. Not nearly as bad as I expected. | M | 50 | 1 times | 1/7/2005 | 4 | colonoscopy prep | My pharmacist suggested that the lemon/lime flavor was the most tolerable of the choices. It did not taste good, but it also did not taste that bad. I did not have any problems with nausea or vomiting, or cramping. I followed the instructions, stayed in the bathroom a little over three hours, and was done. It was less of a nightmare than some of the postings here were leading me to believe. | F | 50 | 1 days | 10/4/2004 | 4 | COLONOSCOPY | Tonight is the night that I taken nulytely. I agree that it is horrible tasting.Also though I do feel like it did clean my colon out good enought o where the doctor will see what is causing my problems.So far I am ok with this medicine.Lets hope it helps see the problem. | F | 42 | 1 days | 4/6/2004 | 5 | Colonoscopy/Endoscopy Prep | No other side effects other than the intended diareah. | The taste wasn't as bad as I suspected.I performed a low- fiber diet one week prior and a clear liquid diet 2 days prior to this prep. Made passing everything extremely easy. I consumed 4 liters split dose. Was able to consume the 2 liters in the 2 hours allotted relatively easy. | F | 33 | 1 days 4 Liters 1X day | 2/27/2023 | 5 | Colonoscopy | None | This is my 4th colonoscopy and first using NuLYTELY. I was nervous as the Golightly I've had in the past tasted awful and made me throw up. This time I was given, and too Zofran for the nausea an hour before I started the prep. I used orange Crystal Light and it tastes like someone made Tang and didn't put enough water with it. The flavor is fine and it's not too thick. I'm just getting tired of drinking it but I'm doing a split prep so I won't have to drink it all tonight. I am used to feeling like I'm going to faint but so far I'm ok. | F | 62 | 1 days 64 oz | 6/15/2020 | 5 | Prep for colonoscopy for gi bleed | Gas and very slight but tolerable nausea | The stuff worked like a charm literally no blood with movements and took effect within an hour and a half. The worst part is the slightly salty, unsweetened Gatorade taste. And the rawness that accompanies the hospital tp but if you can do at home that's the way to go | M | 29 | 1 days 4 l | 3/31/2017 | 5 | colonoscopy prep | Bloating, feeling full, shivering. | I mixed mine with lemonade drink mix. I Was told to drink 8oz every 10 min....I did 8oz every 15 or so to try and ward off possible nausea. Got very bloated feeling until it "kicked in" (about an hour and a half in). I opted to go on a low residue diet for 3 days before prep so I became cleared out pretty quick...only my first bathroom trip had solid matter. Worst part of it for me is still having the rest to finish and the shivering like I'm cold. To anyone who is facing this prep keep a positive attitude and don't stress too much! It's not the most fun I've ever had but it's a necessary evil. | F | 32 | 1 days gallon | 11/19/2015 | 5 | Colonoscopy | this is my 3rd colonoscopy. Before I took go lightly which seemed thicker and tasted salty. So far this solution seems lighter and easier but takes longer to work. I sip a little 7up before and after each glass, more like a mouthwash really I'm not done and I was scared too even had some "D" this morning from nerves but this seems ok. Also use A&D ointment often find in baby section, very soothing. Some day they'll have an easier way we can only hope😛 | F | 68 | 1 days 8oz every | 8/5/2015 |
