Hi Millie1986

I have had Klean Prep before and it is really not the best tasting thing is it? Hopefully the stomach cramps are you bowels being prepared for their evacuation.  Please try and bear with it as it would be a shame for you to give up now and then the hospital not being able to carry out the colonoscopy. 

I kept saying to myself that it was just 'lemonade'.  It helped a little.  It is a shame that you cannot knock it back in one as that would be easier but apparently it is not recommended as it does make you vomit and again, your bowels won't be ready.

Chin up, bear with it, YOU CAN DO IT.

Hope all goes well tomorrow.

I had the flexible sigmoidoscopy in January & had the moviprep but never had the pain.

I had to put Orange dilluting juice in this one. It's got 0.5g of fibre in it but it's the only way!!!!!

I knocked 2 sachets within 45 minutes now I'm paying for it!!!

If everything looks clear I don't need to drink the fourth but I know what you mean I can't give up!!

I completely understand! I starting throwing it up unintentionally! I just could not take the taste. My advice... Take a quick drink of the liquid and follow it with water, repeat this every 5-10 minutes once your urge to be sick settles x

Hi, I'm taking what sounds like awful stuff after reading all the comments on Fri eve for an examination Sat morn., I just wondered if I could eat breakfast before I go, there is no mention anywhere about this - any ideas?  Thanks x
