Different doctors prescribe different bowel prep. I don't think I drank that stuff for that test, but I think I have had it before...for another barium test. I think I got cherry. You'll have to see what your pharmacy has. It's a fairly small bottle (few hundred mL??), so it's not too bad. It was kind of like drinking a bottle of pop, but it was really strong. I would have a glass of water handy, though. You'll need to keep washing it down as you drink it. Overall it's not too bad...especially if you've ever had to do the big jug of prep stuff for a colonoscopy. That's about as bad as it gets. So, the mag citrate isn't too bad.
