I have had 3 different preps. 1st Golytly (awful taste, hard to do), 2nd Prepopik (easiest imo), 3rd the Mirilax combo (Mirilax,Dulcolax,Mag Citrate) (double dose of Mirilax tho), which was much beter than Golytly and not bad, just had so much of it! Golytly was just horrible, the others not bad.
1st colonoscopy:
Golytly = the big 4 liter jug with the nasty salty stuff with the lemon flavor packet which didn't do crap to make it taste better.
Surgery:
Prepopik = 2 packets you mix with 5oz water separate times (4-5 hrs apart) then a few bottles of water after each dose. (2 separate doses of the 5oz mix, taste is similar to mag citrate)
Year checkup colonoscopy:
Mirilax combo = 64oz bottle Gatorade with full bottle (mine was 255 grams of generic rx size which is slightly more) of Mirilax, a couple Dulcolax pills, and 10oz Mag Citrate bottle. (Plus another full dose of the Mirilax for me as I was having constipation)
