Thanks!!! Sounds like that stuff tastes really disgusting!! ewwwwww. Glad to hear that you made it through without throwing up though, but sad to hear it made you nauseous. Is there anything I can do to make it less nausea inducing? I mean, is it the taste of the stuff or just the feeling of the stuff that is so grose?

Actually the nausea wan't that bad... from what I remember. I've had worse anyway... and the fact that it goes away helps.
And you know... I've only ever had to use 2 glasses too. I think 3 is a bit much. Come to think of it... I think I was mostly cleaned out after the 1st... the 2nd just made sure.

Thanks!!! Do you know if it is ok for me to have coca cola as a drink..I love it and it really helps my nausea...(but I don't allow it to myself in general).
The Levsin has totally calmed my tummy but I am like this big floppy spaced out blob! I was just thinking 'this is a great drug for when I just want to pass out when the attacks are bad' - I am glad to add it to my IBS regime, but don't want to make it a daily thing. I find it quite disconcerting to be so floppy and I am useless for all tasks except watching the TV!! Thank you!

((((((((hugs))))))). Trust me the colonoscopy isn't as bad as it seems. I put off having one for 5 years  and while it was certainly no picnic it wasn't horrible. The actual procedure itself I don't remember and I didn't even feel like throwing up (and I had to drink litres and litres of prep). My mum did though and was told it was because she didn't drink enough fluid with the prep. Follow the colonoscopy sticky well (I didn't have to, it's how the procedure/prep is done over here) and make sure you drink HEAPS! I found gatorade and powerade's were the best  Good luck with it, try hard not to panic (yeah I know, everyone told ME that too and I did anyway) and let us know how you go, or keep popping in to complain about how worried you are

How do you know its ok to stop at 2 and not have the 3rd? Is it that you have water coming out of your bum after the second and that means you have reached your 'destination' so to speak???

If it's a clear liquid only, I don't think coca-cola will work. Too bad they don't make that crystal clear coke anymore. Wonder what happened to that...
As for the levsin, I call it my "alcoholic substance". LOL It allows me to be goofy with my drunk friends and not have an attack at bars (with gross bathrooms!).
