FWIW, I'm glad they gave me the slightly sweet lemon-flavored stuff. I
didn't once gag or throw up.
My doc wanted me to also drink magnesium citrate the night before. Even
'tho it was flavored (raspberry), it was definitely disgusting and I
almost gagged.
Because my gastroenterologist was not able to complete the colonscopy due
to a corner in my colon he was unable to navigate around, I have to do a
cologuard. I should've insisted on doing the cologuard in the first
place.
I vow never to do another "full monty" coloscopy again despite my
grandmother dying from colon cancer.
