"I have my colonoscopy tomorrow - started my prep at 7, got all the medicine down like instructed. Literally, 10 minutes after the first liter, I was on the toilet. To be honest, haven't really left yet. Just about to start the 2nd liter and wondering how I will do it. I don't see myself honestly getting it all down - but I do know once I start to run 'clear' I am quitting. I'm going from diarrhea to severe constipation. I can't seem to get my bowels on track and haven't for 2 months now. Only 35, so hoping it's just diet-related. Good luck to anyone in my shoes."

"I put off having a colonoscopy because of the horror stories friends had told of the gallon of prep they had to drink and how horrible it was. MoviPrep was a small 32 oz. bottle, the lemon flavor wasn't something I'd want to drink on a regular basis, but it wasn't that bad. I did chill it in the fridge, shake before pouring into a plastic cup with a top and straw. Immediately following each 8 oz., I chewed a fresh piece of Juicy Fruit gum until the next 8 oz. Did the second 32 oz. of MoviPrep at 5 a.m. the day of my procedure. It was slightly harder to get down simply because I don't eat or drink anything until later in the day. The procedure was a breeze."

"The taste is terrible. I would rather there not be a lemon or sweet taste. Thought I was going to be sick. Holding breath, nose, and big gulps is helpful. This stuff does work though. I have a colonoscopy in the morning. I suffered through the first liter at 6 PM and the second at 10 PM. Couldn't make it through the entire second liter. I had about 2 oz left. Good luck, everyone!"

"Have had 2 1L solutions of MoviPrep in 12 hours. I've had constipation with overflow diarrhea but no real bowel movement for 2.5 weeks despite many laxatives, suppositories, drugs, and enemas. MoviPrep is the worst-tasting laxative of them all, and I've tried several recently. It tastes so bad even when I plug my nose I can feel it on my tongue and in my face. I managed them down fairly quickly but have had no luck."
