| 5 | Colonoscopy prep | Some bloating, mild nausea, nothing really uncomfortible. | Opted for the lemon/lime flavor and it went down fine at first, but continued to become more difficult with each glass. Too much of most things gets old quickly. I got it all down without a serious problem, and it seemed to do just what it was intended to do. This is supposed to be the worst part, so.... | M | 57 | 1 days | 7/10/2006 | 5 | colonoscopy prep | feeling very full, anal burning and discomfort but I put neosporin with pain relief on and that helped | I got the plain flavored and the went down fine. It tastes the tiniest bit salty but not bad. Nothing happened for the first 45 minutes and I was afraid it was not working. It really worked then after the 45 minute mark with explosive watery diarehea about every 15 minutes. My doctor said I must have clear or light yellow discharge for a full hour before I could stop drinking it and at about the 2 hour mark I was light yellow and no poo showing up with it. Then after about 30 minutes with only 30 to go my "discharge" went darker yellow and had bits of poo in it. GREAT! So I had to keep drinking and finally poured the last glass down the sink- I just don't want to do this anymore. I will drink myself into oblivion with apple juice and crystal light. The other truly bad thing is I am diabetic so that limits beverage choices quite a bit. | F | 40 | 1 days | 7/6/2006 | 5 | colonoscopy prep | I used the lemon-lime flavor. It tasted better than I expected it to taste. I drank the whole jug of NuLytely, and the effects were mild. | From many comments I had read, I thought this would taste horrible, but that is not the case. | F | 63 | 1 days | 4/5/2006 | 5 | colonoscopy prep | None. I drank the entire jug (the pharmacist called it the 'party pack') 8 oz. at a time over a 4 hour period. I had two mild, not really very urgent yet very copious movements over this time period. I feel fine. I'm confident the colonoscopist will have a clear view tomorrow morning. | It all went pretty much as planned. I was prepared for the worst after reading these comments, but was pleasantly disappointed. I had the cherry flavor, and the taste was OK. It has a bit of a unpleasant oily texture to it going down, but I found it tolerable. | M | 51 | 1 days | 2/14/2006 | 5 | colonoscopy | chills, ring around my butt | This wasn't as bad as expected. I've had worse diarrhea from eating my mother's cooking. I would recommend staying close to the bathroom, though, unless you can run really fast (no pun intended.) | F | 52 | 1 times | 2/8/2006 | 5 | Colonoscopy | None | Didn't have any problem. | M | 48 | 1 times | 1/9/2006 | 5 | Bowel cleansing for colonoscopy | Mild chills; mild bloating; minor anal irritation | I'm an RN who has actually administered Nulytely to patients (and cleaned up after them) many times, so I didn't think I would be at all uncomfortable with this process. But after reading some of the posts on this site, I was extremely anxious about using this product on myself. I don't doubt what anyone has written here (people have different responses to meds), but I have to agree with those who wrote that | F | 28 | 1 times | 5/6/2005 | 5 | Bowel cleansing for colonoscopy | Mild chills; mild bloating; minor anal irritation | I'm an RN who has actually administered Nulytely to patients (and cleaned up after them) many times, so I didn't think I would be at all uncomfortable with this process.

Got the lemon-lime flavor, and it tasted like...well, lemon-lime flavored water, with a salty aftertaste. I was thirsty when I started (6:30 PM), so I easily put down a glass every 10 min for the first 1 1/2 hours. Then I started to feel bloated and bored with the taste, so I slowed down. I felt less bloated after I finally defecated about 2 1/2 hours later (9:00PM). My stool was completely liquid diarrhea, without any solid feces or any gas. No nausea, no vomiting, no cramps, no discomfort. It took about 6 hours to finish drinking the 4 liters. It caused me to have about 6 quick bowel movements (about 45 min. apart) that evening. Although the instructions say to drink until the color of your diarrhea becomes yellowish-cloudy, I had to drink the entire 4 liters before my stool went from dark brown to just cloudy. I expelled clear liquid stool twice the next morning (6AM and 9AM), and had my procedure at 11AM. It, too, was a breeze. | M | 50 | 1 days | 5/2/2005 | 5 | colonoscopy | Mild chills | Not nearly as bad as others describe it. Strange texture, so just chug it down. Works quickly - no cramps, unlike that citrus laxative soda | M | 55 | | 4/15/2005 | 5 | Colonoscopy Prep | Mild chilling, mild stomach pain | Worked fast, first glass was easy to swallow, became difficult after that. Lemon Lime flavor. It tasted a bit like........sweat, or spit or something. Very nasty. | F | 31 | 1 days | 2/3/2005 |
