I much prefer using that and then drinking plain water then the gallon solution of foul tasting stuff. I've never needed to use more than 1/2 of the Phosper Soda (it reacts sure and swift). It does help to go off solid foods the day before.
I used PhosphoSoda last time, and I agree it was more pleasant than any of the other preps I've had to endure. But my gastroenterologist told me it's been taken off the market now! Bummer (no pun intended)
This time I used SuPrep, which is somewhere between PhosphoSoda and GoLytely. You only have to drink a quart-and-a-half of water at a time, and it tastes like lemon-lime soda, not that horrible chalky paste of GoLytely. I'd rather use a RotoRooter than have to endure that disgusting gunk again.
