Don't know if you saw this
I have to drink the same as you do ,lemon flavor
The first colonoscopy I had I had to drink it and started throwing up ,
Then I went to a new gastro and since my potassium was high for about a year which I was drinking this stuff for it 2 ounces twice a week which it kept it in the normal range most of the time,my kidney doctor prescribed it.
Went every 4 months for blood work to check it
My kidneys are just fine, She ran every test under the sun to see why it was high and we never found out why
All the tests she ran were perfect
Then she retired so I saw her partner , she looked everything over and saw all the tests her partner did and didn't know why it was Hugh sometimes either
Then one visit she told me since it was in the normal range for such a long time to stop drinking the stuff and come back in 3 months for blood work
Do you know it's been fine since 9-14-2022 ,isn't that strange
I still go to my primary every 4 months for routine blood work
Any way new gastro that did my second one didn't want me to drink the gallon stuff because I did have high potassium when I saw him.
He made me drink a tablespoon of castor oil and then a whole big bottle of miralax
It was great, no polops that time so he told me to come back in 5 years
The time before I did have some so had to go back in 3 years
Now he retired
Went and saw one for this one coming up , I know him because when I was in the hospital many years ago with a bleeding ulcer my primary called him in to see me in the hospital
Needed 2 pints of blood
So I go see him a about a month and a half ago , tell him I did have high potassium in the past and I wanted to drink the castor oil and miralax again like I did before. He said he didn't like using factor oil , like a dummy I didn't ask why
I go to the front desk and get the script and see it was for the gallon crap
I called back and asked the nurse if he could just give me the castor oil and miralax , he said no
So if I start to throw up or can't finish it that's his problem, if you are not fully cleaned out they will clean you out while you're under
I bought some lemon aid to put in it which they said I could do , my pharmacist who I know very well said to try it first without adding some lemon aid to it and see how it goes since it's already lemon flavored , and if I have to add some lemon aid just add a little.
What an ordeal , I'll just hold my nose closed and drink it down as fast as I can
What flavor is yours?
@cecile & bella
You'll be ok, it's over in minutes once they put you under, that's my favorite part, I tell the anesteologist to inject the stuff slowly because I just love that feeling
What do they have you taking to clean you out ?
@@cecile & bella
What a nice subject we're talking about lol
This is my 3 rd one
I hope Bella/slides down safely today
