Absolutely awful after 2nd dose and sleepless night. Scan today and still having stomach pain and diarrhoea. Would never take again | Awful taste and felt sick when taking 2nd dose despite adding fruit juice to it | F | 78 | 0 days 50ml 2X day | 9/2/2020 | 3 | Colonography | No side effects including not having any bowel movements. No Diarrhea, nothing. Weird. So I don't know what to rate it cause I dont know if its working lol. | M | 42 | 2 days 50ml 1X day | 8/26/2020 | 4 | For a CT colonography | Overall not a bad experience. Tasted foul but went down ok. Nothing happened after first dose, but a couple of hours after second dose things started moving. Got a sore bottom but E45 cream helped. Diarrhoea finished about 11am so went to bed. Next morning took diluted gastrogafin which tasted better. Diarrhoea was still there slightly but made it to hospital which is 45 mins drive. It was doable but moviprep tastes better. Don’t worry about soiling the table apparently, if there is any thing left in the colon the tube used for the air takes it away. | F | 75 | 1 days 50 mg 2X day | 8/16/2020 | 3 | Ct colonoscopy | Uncontrollable diarrhoea.
