    Similar sort of ingredients to MoviPrep. On each of my colonoscopies I have had something different but the end result is much the same! Different hospitals and consultants have different preferences. Make sure you have some barrier creams or vaseline and I found wet wipes very helpful. If you can stop it getting sore rather than treating it when it does its better. So i use the vaseline and wet wipes each time, irrespective of whether it was sore or not. With barrier creams a little can be as (or more) effective than a lot. Good luck! The clear out is a real bore but its not as bad as gastro-enteritis!

    It didn't taste very appetising, but not sick making. I used a kitchen timer so i spread it over the hour they recomendended, and added som e lemon squash to change the taste a bit. Quite worried that I didnt have an explosive immediate result, but I had been on a diet previously. Didnt get any urgent calls to the toilet, and the liquid was going straight through after the second dose. It did work very well though, all was shiney and sparkling inside!
