I will not look forward to my next scope (which is next year) that's for sure. Wish I knew as I would have stockpiled the Soda prep!!! There is no way I can do that Golytely (GAG ME!) prep!

Ask about the Suprep or the one mentioned above I haven’t tried. The Suprep may well come down in price or insurance may well cover it. I was just going by what the nurse said when the doc gave me the free sample.

Here is a link to why the Fleet Phospho Soda was taken off the market.

In my limited experience I think I like the Suprep actually better. It tastes kind of the same isn’t a huge amount to drink and the water you drink after really goes down easy. I had no idea how long it would take to work and expected it to be like the Fleet Phospho Soda and it wasn’t. For me that was actually a good thing. It does the same job but at a slower pace and I felt less after affects from it. Like I said the first batch after a day of liquids took a couple hours to start. And took care of 90% of the job having 12 hours in between the second batch works quicker maybe 30 minutes to an hour but still very easy on the system.

I would advise people to finish the full amounts given, and follow the directions. I do know a nurse that works in the scope area of a different center than the one I used and she said many come in that took a short cut and then they have to finish the process there and no one is happy. Before mine I was asked what my last BM was like and I said crystal clear. She looked at me and said I never wrote that down before.
