For Bowel Preparation "This GaviLyte-G drink is horrible and I’ve had my share of horrible tasting medicine. Even when I hold my nose I can still feel the salty tingle on my tongue as I drank this. The thickness is what makes it worse. Thicker than water but not as thick as milk. I honestly would have preferred to fast for an entire week than drink this stuff. I am not able to stomach the second half of the dose and I’m choosing not to torture myself even though it will affect my procedure."

For Bowel Preparation "A little over a month ago, I had my 1st colonoscopy with PlenVu prep. It's supposed to be easier, but it was super gritty and INTENSE. I HATED the taste and surprise! It made one of my kidneys VERY unhappy. I had to go back for a second colonoscopy, and they switched me to GaviLyte. The nurse warned me how awful it was, so I was dreading it. I DID NOT use the flavor packet, mixed it up with room temp bottled water and stuck it in the fridge. When it came time to drink, I poured 64 ounces in a fancy glass pitcher, fixed up a cold cup with a straw for small servings. Had some yummy ginger ale and took a tiny sip that I held in my mouth and then downed the glassful, following with another sip of ginger ale I swished around in my mouth. Honestly, it was so much better than the PlenVu horror. Much less intense, and it doesn't really taste like anything. I drink A LOT of water all the time, so maybe that's why 64 oz didn't matter to me."

For Bowel Preparation "Preparing for a colonoscopy is not a pleasant thing. However, the experience I had with GaviLyte-G was acceptable. I pre-prepared the solution in the morning with added lemon flavor and placed it in the refrigerator. As per my doctor's direction, I took 2 Dulcolax at 2PM, then drank half the solution between 4 & 6PM. At 6PM, I took 2 more Dulcolax and drank the other half between 2 & 4AM. Based on the cleanliness of my colon, I would give GaviLyte-G a 10. It's not easy to drink; however, necessary if you want to have a successful procedure."
