Colonoscopy?
I have to have a colonoscopy next Monday. I have had one before and am really not looking forward to it. The problem is drinking the triLyte crap! Anybody have any ideas about how to get it down quick and painless? Which flavor packs are the best?
I can’t take the pills because I have kidney damage. 
That is right, it is crap and there is no other way to get it down other than to drink the whole thing as soon as you can. They make it such a pain and for something so simple, it takes two days of preparing for it. You would think if they can perform an appendectomy or a shoulder surgery without opening you up, they could surely find a way that isn’t so darned evasive and time consuming. Yes it is a necessary evil but is is still a pain in the *ss, literally.
Best thing is to drink it cold, drink it with a chaser like juice or soda(both considered clear liquids just no red colors) any flavor pack you pick is gonna taste horrible:( but even though your doc says you have to drink the whole gallon as soon as you start passing clear when you go the bathroom… you can stop the prep your doc wont know the difference, Good luck
My doc gave me pills to take. It was much easier than drinking that liquid stuff.
just do it quick as poss,i know its not pleasant but the quicler its done the quicker its over good luck
Use a cup or glass rather than drinking from the bottle so you can knock it down as fast as possible.
It’s easier if it’s chilled, if that’s allowed with whatever preparation product you’re using.
Tossing it as far back on the tongue as possible helps.
A straw might help, too.
In extreme cases, a product designed to numb a sore throat may deaden the taste buds enough to get the stuff down. Ask your doctor if this is okay.
Have everything ready to brush your teeth and tongue (just a little toothpaste–don’t swallow) immediately.
