[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That made me LOL. OP here and I prepped the portal with some A&D; hopefully that will prevent some of the anal agony. Moving on to the suprep now. [/quote]

Suprep was, by far, the worst part of the prep for me. My doctor had me drink a bottle of magnesium citrate (I think that's what it's called?) before Suprep because he was worried I wouldn't be cleaned out enough due to my history of constipation. The magnesium drink made me queasy on an empty stomach, and then I had to start on the Suprep. I worked SO hard to choke it down and ended up throwing it all up 10 min later. My body literally rejected it. I called the nurse line all stressed out that I was going to have to reschedule after going through the 2 days of clear liquids only. Thankfully I still had time to switch to the Miralax/Gatorade prep which was a lot more liquid to get down but SO much easier for me because it didn't taste awful. Now I now for next time!

I really can't believe anyone can drink Suprep. I am not at all prone to vomiting (threw up one time over 2 pregnancies, never get stomach bugs, etc.) but that stuff did me in. It is appalling to me that a company can make something that people are supposed to ingest that tastes so bad. It was like a combo of the worst cheap vodka, the 3 hour glucose drink, and Nyquil with a briny taste thrown in for fun. Never again.[/quote]
