Hi Maddie,
Ahh the colonoscopy! I must agree with the other post that the sticky post on the crohn's board is the most comprehensive. I call it Jill's Bible. From Jill's Bible, I would emphasize the following:
If you are doing the phosphasoda prep, you WILL get nausious. Mix the prep with white cranberry juice - it's strong and will attempt (albeit unsuccessfully) to mask the horid taste. It also helped me to bit a lemon that had been dipped in sugar after swallowing each dose of the prep - get the taste out of your mouth! Also, sit when swallowing - preferably on the floor so you're not far from it - again think nausea. Through the whole thing - one important part - don't try to do the prep alone. You should have someone around if at all possible to keep you company in between trips to the bathroom, bring you gatoraid and jello and pat your head when you feel sickly. If you have more specific questions feel free to post and we'll try to help!
Good luck!
