When is one supposed to start getting colonoscopies
It used to be 50, but now the push is for people to start at 45. Im pretty sure some doctors/anesthesiologists got together and decided they needed fancier cars and houses, thus the 45

Because of Polyps I'm on an every 3 year schedule. I did the big old horse pills the last time. Somewhat better than the liquid.

Everyone at 45. Sooner if you have symptoms.

Had one 3 weeks ago. They said the aftertaste wasn't all that pleasant so put it in the fridge and when it was time to drink it I downed it. I didn't find it was that bad. Maybe I had a different brand.

Didn't think it was so terrible, maybe because I was expecting it to be so bad.
Same here, I just gulped it. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad.

Doing the pill next time.
However the last time I did liquid and they had me drink a gallon of that stuff. When all I was doing was squirting out clear liquid I said “frick this. I’m clean” and stopped drinking it. Then I drank an equal amount of water as to what was left of the prep to flush more. Procedure done. No issues.

Clean, I’m wondering if you’re not enjoying these.
J/K, I know it’s been a struggle lately.

Put it in the fridge and get it good and cold. Hold your nose and it goes down easier. I find the lemon easier to deal with than the cherry.
Are you doing colonoscopies for fun on a Friday night to have enough of a representative sample to come to that conclusion?

Im in the every 5 year club. It is tough to drink all that . I get it very cold and just hold my nose and chug as fast as I can.

Mine was just Miralax mixed with Gatorade. Wasnt terrible, but I chilled it
Had to be the blue, green or yellow Gatorade not red, but it wasn't bad at all that way.

It wasn't bad. My issue was i didn't need but half that. I was sitting straight water for a while before I was halfway done drinking that stuff.

Had to drink it last week and it came with a flavor enhancer that made it somewhat tolerable.
