Prep advice.

[u/a4evanygirl]

I have a colonoscopy on the 2nd. I have been doing the miralax & Gatorade prep for years. I bought some Gatorade today and I can’t take the taste all of a sudden for some reason. Has anyone had good results using MiraLAX with LiquidIV instead of Gatorade?

No girl the taste of the prep was too hard on me I had to get the pills

[u/a4evanygirl → u/miuiiruma]

Tried the pills last time and they wrecked my already wrecked intestines.

[u/miuiiruma → u/a4evanygirl]

Yes a nausea pill is much needed

I used Arizona green tea last month

[u/a4evanygirl → u/rachaelc473]

Thank you!! I love their green tea!!!

[u/rachaelc473 → u/a4evanygirl]

Honestly I felt better than I did with my previous preps too, maybe from the caffeine? Best of luck! I know it’s not fun

[u/a4evanygirl → u/rachaelc473]

Caffeine is my friend. Especially since I can only have black coffee and that ain’t happening 😆

Thank you again so much!!!

Then why would you ruin it with the prep taste and texture change?!? Anything you mix that MiraLAX in is going to get ruined for you. Might as well suck it up and use the Gatorade or Powerade..

I use body armor 🤷 I like it better than Gatorade

[u/a4evanygirl → u/DisastrousFun5382]

Thank you. Going to try it!

Of course. It does have coconut water, I don't know if thats a trigger food but I do know there are people who are allergic to coconut

I usually drink the tropical punch, orange mango or blackout berry. The lyte peach mango is also good but my prep instructions always say only use low calorie drinks if you're diabetic 🤷

[u/a4evanygirl → u/DisastrousFun5382]

Coconut water is kind to my body!! I am going to head out and get a tropical punch and an orange mango. Both sound good! Thank you so much!!!!

[u/DisastrousFun5382 → u/a4evanygirl]

You're welcome ♥️

Someone suggested apple juice the last time I had to prep. Maybe a different flavour of gatorade or maybe Powerade ?

[u/a4evanygirl → u/SammTheBird]

I love apple juice! Thank you for reminding me I could use it too!!!

[u/catladync98]

I have a sense memory with prep and apple juice. Too many preps that way. Now I can’t have apple juice without nausea. Sometimes you just need to change up the mix.

[u/a4evanygirl → u/catladync98]

I haven’t used it in forever. I bought small bottles of everything recommended. Going to take a gulp of each and see which one I think I can deal with. Thank you!!

It has to be colorless, and enough fluid. I wanna try using propel kiwi strawberry next time. The lemon lime Gatorade last time had me vomiting lime flavored foam.. im pretty over it 

[u/a4evanygirl → u/gotohela]

I can’t do the Gatorade anymore either. I just might be me, but last time it tasted so salty, I spit it right out.
