Just made my appointment for my one-year post-surgery colonoscopy, with my colorectal surgeon. She's recommending a bowel prep I haven't heard of before; Clenpiq. Has anybody tried it? How awful is it compared to the other options? It claims to be a "low volume" bowel prep. I'm sure it's not what I had before my emergency colonoscopy in the hospital last year; I had to drink two huge jugs of prep stuff for that.
