My GI doc had me use a concoction I put together with Dulcolax, Miralax, and Gatorade. Much easier to take down.

The last time she prescribed SuperPrep and I got sick in between rounds 1 and 2. We tried again and the same thing happened. So she switched me over to the Ducolax/Miralax/Gatorade combo, which worked fine 5 years ago but got me sick this time around. I think it was the Lemon/Lime Gatorade.

I landed in the hospital after losing 35 LBs in 10 days upon arrival at college. Couldn’t keep anything down including water. Not sure anesthesia was the standard procedure back then or not, but they didn’t give me a choice. (They found duodenal ulcer back then, which apparently has since healed, as has the signs of Barrett’s esophagus, which my current GI identified 5 years ago.).
I’ve been on Prilosec since it came out, which might be causing me other long term issues that haven’t hit me yet.
