I mixed mine with Crystal Lite.

Honestly?   This isn't a choice - it's a necessity so you are going to have to put on your Big Girl Knickers and chug it down however you can!

None of us thought it was delicious!

I think Moviprep IS the best option - none of them are pleasant or easy.   It's just a case of mind over matter (or crappy taste)!   There is nothing in this that makes you vomit - it just tastes disgusting! 

If you are looking for some secret, easy option, I think you are going to be disappointed!

At this point since it has been mixed you are just going to have to drink it. Call your doc if you are still having problems.

I understand if you are vomiting.  The psychology behind it can be something that can't be overcome in a sitting...so, if you can't overcome it then probably gonna have to reschedule.

Please make sure you do something. Getting a regular colonoscopy is SO important. My poor father-in-law passed away last November from colon cancer. He never thought to have one and his doctor didn't recommend it until he was 56. If he had one sooner - around the age of 50 when you're supposed to have them, he would still be with us today.

I suggest asking your doctor what else you can use.

I had to drink MoviPrep before my last colonoscopy and it really tastes yucky. Not enough that I'd vomit, but it wasn't good. I made sure it was ice cold and drank it with a fat straw. A long slurp followed by a swig of apple juice. Rinse and repeat. I managed to get it all down.
