Looking for a colonoscopy prep without having to take Bisycodyl Tablets. Also without the polyethylene glycole, sodium bicaronate,

sodium chloride, polyethylene glycol 3350, and potassium chloride, as I can't tolerate them. :-(

  1. try  picoprep: http://www.virtualpaincentre.com/drugs.a...

    it has sodium picosulfate, magnesium oxide, citric acid & aspartame


  2. Fleet Phosho Soda (or generic) the active ingredients are Monobasic Sodium Phosphate Monohydrate, 7.2 g and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Heptahydrate, 2.7 g

    It is a 1.5 oz bottle and you take 2 doses 4 to 5 hours apart.  The instructions call for it to be mixed in an 8 oz clear beverage.  It is real salty so I have tried it with margarita mix and chugged it.  I usually immediately follow it with Gatorade ot PowerAde so as to not deplete my electrolytes.  I have also chugged the bottle straight (like a shot) and then chased it with a clear flavored liquid.

    There is a warning if you already have heart disease or kidney failure.  DO NOT cheat on the clear diet or beverages because it works by drawing water to your intestines.  Remember to drink lots of clear liquid, eat Jell-O and stay close to the commode.  If you consume the clear diet you will be fine.

    Everyone I know says this is the least disgusting of the preps.
