OMG this stuff is just too gross. Have to drink a bottle right now....got about 1/2 down and trying not to gag while I drink the rest. Another bottle in an hour. My stomach is already curdling and I'm supposed to keep the stuff inside me???? This test better give me something positive. So tired of being pricked and poked.

Don't worry, you won't throw up from it. I had to drink something similiar for a small bowel xray. It was white and gross. I put the straw all the way back at my throat and sucked it through so I couldn't taste it. I did almost lose it a few times but I managed not to get sick. I think they make you drink entirely too much of that stuff. AND if I'm not mistaken you might have to drink again right before your test. Good luck and hopefully you'll get good results!

Test all done and passed with flying colors. So next test is the gallbladder functionality test. I think sometime next week. Yeah the white stuff was gross. Had to drink 2 bottles of the stuff. By the time I was laying on the table I thought my tummy was going to burst...gurgling the whole time.
