Hi,
I'd rather use something else instead of the water, with my Suprep. Has anyone tried anything else with this?
Thank you.
What do you mix in lieu of water, with your Suprep? I have a colonoscopy scheduled for August 13,?

After agonizing through the 1st dose, I added 2 packets of Crystal Light Lemon to the concoction! It was way easier to get down this time. I chased it with sips of Sprite for the 2nd dose and sucked on an ice cube to numb the taste buds both times. Hope all goes well. You’ve got this!

I used “cold” ginger ale, it was ok, better than water.

Second time I've used this prep and ice cold lemonade without pulp is the best way to drink it. I also used a straw.

I had my colonoscopy Aug. 13th and I decided to use one packed of Crystal Light in mine. It wasn't bad and the Suprep was gentle on my system. I used a straw too. It cleaned me out quickly, on the first dose. I never could drink the two, 16 oz. bottles of water with it. Just too much to drink. I just did the one dose of Suprep and then at 1:30 a.m., I had my 2nd doze and couldn't finish it. Drank most of it, but about 1" left in glass. I couldn't drink water then either. Thankfully, my procedure went well. I was cleaned out good and they found no polyps. Whew! :-)

I'm taking mine in a shot glass, because it's easier to down shots. I'm also chasing it with citrus soda, which is pulp-free and coloring-free. Sour things and carbonation help cut the taste, so I recommend soda, maybe even with added lime juice. This is the only way I find Suprep to be palatable. Good luck!

Hi newwavepony, thanks for the advice. I had not thought of using a shot glass. I'm going to be using a straw and breathing through my mouth. I'm also going to put mine (just for a little while), in the freezer. And definitely not drinking out of the container it comes with. But I love the shot glass idea. I may try putting Ginger Ale or Sprite, in with my first dose. Thanks again for commenting, and good luck to you too!

…... and I just read on the internet where a doctor said the prep did not need to be gulped or drank fast. He said to drink it slowly, over 30 minutes, so that's good. I'm definitely not a gulper!
