a better option?

I've done the prep thing twice in the past few months -- for x-rays related to a kidney stone attack and for the colonoscopy. No flavored liquids either time but 20 very large pills taken over an hour with a lot of water. It was easier than the awful liquid that I had to take for a surgery many years ago, but it wouldn't work so well for anyone who has difficulty swallowing pills.

With my "shoot me" instruction still in play, I better stop the prep-talk before gunfire erupts. <g>

Chris, I guess they had better tasting stuff in the olden days. I remember when I had to work late in the radiology and there would be no available food. First, I'd hit the X-Nog, a very tasty, eggnog flavored drink they used to give during gallbladder x-rays in those days. Then, I'd head over to the laboratory and grab the stuff (I forget the name) they gave for glucose tolerance tests. Tasted like Grandmother's limeade. Ah, dinner. - Holly
