| Skip the gatorade and mix it with coconut water instead. Lower calories and it tastes better. |

| Gatorade for electrolytes |

| It’ll take a couple of hours. The real fun begins after you drink the second dose. |

It gets soooooo gross by the end though. Save some powder to mix in alternate liquids. Water. Ginger ale. Coconut water. |

Probably for colonoscopy prep |

The Gatorade was the worst part. I don’t drink anything that sweet ever. Water would have been better.
I was surprised not that much came out- but my Dr said my prep was excellent. Guess I’m not full of sh@t after all. Lol |

How are you feeling OP?
Was the colonoscopy scary? Any BTDT notes, I will be in your shoes next month. |

| I did 1/2 gatorade and 1/2 spring water. It really helped making it drinkable. |

| There has got to be a better way to check than this it's 2026. They need to come up with something better. |

| I mixed mine with Sprite and it wasn't bad. My mom said she had to drink a lot more 10+ yrs ago for her procedure. |

A few months ago one poster shared their experience with a virtual colonoscopy— it sounded absolutely horrific. Colonoscopies aren’t bad at all, especially if you use Sutab prep. |
