[quote=Anonymous]I feel like I've done every single prep mentioned above at least once.  I'm 43, and I've been having colonoscopies about every 2 years since I was 20.  I haven't done the Go-lightly in about 15 years. It's definitely the worst of the preps, and I'm always surprised when i see it behind the counter at the pharmacy.  The go-lightly prep and the miralax prep both made me vomit. My last prep was the Sutab, which I was excited about trying because I thought it would be easier. It didn't work AT ALL.  I ended up having to rush out to the pharmacy to get a bottle of magnesium citrate and redo the whole prep the morning of my procedure.  The easiest preps for me are the ones with the two small bottles of liquid followed by multiple cups of water. Suprep, Prepopik, Clenpiq.  The "flavor" has gotten better over the last 10 years, but none are great.  If nausea is an issue, definitely ask your Dr for an antiemetic.

Anyway.  OP - you need to call the office of the dr who is doing the procedure and tell them you want a different prep than what you had before.  And if they won't talk to you about it, or they won't give you something else, then you need to call your primary physician and tell them that they need to refer you to someone else. [/quote]
