SuPrep Bowel Prep Kit, tips and tricks to make it go down easier

[@KiddAmnesiac]

Did this a couple days ago and had a similar experience. Not as bad as I was expecting. I used lemon wedges instead of popsicles. Glad I had the procedure because my doctor found and removed a large polyp. He said it probably would’ve become cancer in a few years.

[@matthewj16]

Here’s a pro tip for anyone going for their first one. Do not eat anything the day before the prep. If the procedure is on Tuesday morning. Eat breakfast on Sunday and don’t eat again until after the procedure. It makes the prep much easier. The less that needs to come out, the better. Deal with the temporary hunger. It’s worth it.

[@dkhnguess]

@Matthew James Did you eat a light breakfast or a your normal breakfast on that Sunday morning? Did you drink all the water afterward? Tysm

[@jillschaefer1360]

​@@dkhnguess- eat boneless skinless chicken breast meat and white rice as a "brunch" stop at noon or so that Sunday.

[@JSSBBB]

Thank you for doing this video. I’m going in two weeks. I was a bit worried but now after watching this video and reading the comments here, I feel much better. I believe the lemonade powder and the ginger ale will be important tools for making it a little easier. You did really well making this video and we all appreciate it.

[@tmic4043]

Life saver! It wasn't bad at all when I mixed it like you did.

[@laurarogers6337]

Took your suggestions and it was easy. Not too bad at all. Thanks.

[@frankv4728]

Wait so you can add flavors to it?

[@niccivictorious5594]

Thank you for providing tips on making it taste better 😊

[@rsbff4521]

Thanks for this, will be drinking it tomorrow and this is giving me hope...

[@kimberly1904]

Thanks so much for the tips! Will try tomorrow! Didn’t know we could add anything.

[@amandasimpson34]

I love how your commentary it's like you're tasting wine. 😂

[@RBOU812]

I ate one very light meal the day before my prep. The magnesium citrate my Dr. told me to take at 6 pm took care of that. The suprep wasn’t horrible. I mixed it with gatorade. I found inhaling through my mouth and exhaling while swallowing made the taste more tolerable. It tastes like cough syrup. After my first dose, 2 hours later I was passing only liquid. I don’t feel like I really need the second dose but I will take it later today. I’m not doing it in the morning like instructed because I have no intention of being in the car on my way to the appointment and still having to find a bathroom.

[@matthewj16]

Yeah that’s wild that it’s a 2 day prep. I’m going for my second colonoscopy and the first years ago did not use this prep. Used something different that was a one day prep. Take the second dose morning of? Are you kidding me. So I’m supposed to be crapping myself in the car on the way to the appt? Did you ever take the second dose day of, and if not was it OK? Did they tell you that you were cleaned out after the procedure was over using just one dose?

[@DianaLynn45]

@@matthewj16 I've had about 5 colonoscopies in the past and getting ready to have another because there is a large spot they found that is pre cancerous. I'm 49 but my dad had colon cancer so my Dr. is very cautious with me. I had the miralax/Gatorade prep for the first one many yrs ago. Hated it and never will do it again (got very bloated, nauseated, and threw up) and it didnt do a good job of cleaning me out. For the rest, I've had Suprep and insist on it every time even though they try to get me to do the miralax/Gatorade prep. Suprep always works great for me because I can't tolerate drinking a whole lot of liquid and thats what's good about suprep, (it's not near as much liquid as the other preps). It tastes horrible beyond imagination, and is hard to get down, but I'm used to it now, pretty much 🤮 For the past few colonoscopies I do both doses the same day on prep day (11am or 12pm 1st dose, then 8pm or 9pm for second). Has been working out good that way, and makes it so I can get a little sleep the night before. Just make sure to still drink some fluids during the night or you will get a massive headache. I have a 40 min drive to the hospital but have never had to stop on the way, luckily 😅. But by that time, it's just water coming out anyway so not a big deal 😆

[@matthewj16]

@@DianaLynn45 great info. Thanks. Best of luck on your procedure.

[@ericbahrenburg5076]

same here. got a 45 min drive. if a cop comes up behind me, ii;ll just hand him my file and ask for some privacy.

[@barbaraamoroso2228]

Thank you! Your the first video that gave me hope that I could swallow the stuff. Going in in three days. Scared big time!

[@robertschwartz4957]

How did it go?

[@lovemysammyboy]

If you block your nose while drinking it cuts the taste. I am still going to try doing this with it. Thank you for doing this.

[@Rachel-1961]

I wish I saw this video first, I would have done the popsicle on the side, always helps me relax. Thank you for sharing

[@jtan2010]

I did 1 part suprep and 10 part beer. It was great , but my doc was pissed

[@teem2601]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@simeyla78]

I’m halfway through my first dose. I didn’t put anything in it but chasing it with tonic water which seems to really help mask the flavor due to the bitterness. (Obviously not with alcohol!)

[@ericbahrenburg5076]

thanks for sharing. i got mine next weekend. i have to drive up the interste for 45 mins, how bad are urges?

[@dznyc]

I don't think it's 5 hours in between drinking. The instruction I received is drink the night before at 5:30 pm and the second bottle is 6:30 am the next day (the day of the procedure) and that's 5 hours before the procedure.

[@kevinwilkinson8753]

every doc has their own take on it. Mine wanted these doses just a few hours apart.

[@janiewilliams4301]

Mine was 5 p.m. and the 5 a.m.

[@mekkler]

I just had my first bottle about 10 minutes ago and I had the same reaction....not bad at all. To me it tastes like those 5 Hour Energy drinks in the tiny bottles. Edit: I didn't add anything extra to mine, just water.

[@taganaka]

Rumors says he’s still on the toilette since then

[@iamric23]

Thanks for doing this, I too may choose to use this prep kit. Just wondering, how was downing everything in combination?

[@alex182618]

The best video ever

[@leticiasarmiento.165]

Excelente video, thank you so much!!!

[@rondeezy121]

I'm going in two days and this is my 1st time, reading the comments isn't helping but I'm gonna man up and drink the prep. because it's too late to turn back now, I'm not much of an eater and I hope the prep. doesn't make me throw up, I hope that the 2nd prep. is gone before I get to the clinic because it would be a damn shame if I make a big mess while I'm under, I believe the idea of making a mess has got me stressed out!!!

[@frankbayer3787]

Hope everything comes out ok

[@kevinwilkinson8753]

It did, the second dose was way overkill...

[@kathrynstewart5863]

A better, very successful prep is Mirilax mixed with cold, plain water. ( tastes like water).....so much easier. ( Gatorade will cause nausea, as it increases your potassium and sodium too much)

[@eieiolsen]

I tried that for my colonoscopy in September. Long story short? The gastroenterologist has me doing the Suprep tonight for another colonoscopy tomorrow.

[@inspectorvoid]

Too much liquid required for me

[@DianaLynn45]

I hated the miralax/Gatorade prep. Too much liquid made me sick as a dog. Plus it didn't clean me out even though I did the prep as instructed. Ive used Suprep the last few times and will never use the other kind. Suprep tastes like death 🤮🤮, but it's a much lower volume of liquid and is MUCH easier! Plus it cleaned me out the best.

[@mariaddubkg531]

This is my third colonoscopy coming up and have never been given the suprep or any other r/x prep to use. Its always Miralax and Ducolax I buy otc. I think I will use it with just plain water this time because I do remember getting extremely nauseated when used with Gatorade

[@rubygilbert4518]

It is that bad! Lol I’m choking down my first dose without your tips. I’ll try your tips for the next dose.

[@PayalPatel-s2r]

Hi, thanks for the video, it is helpful. Can you please specify what brand of powder flavor are you using? I want a cherry flavor but don't know which brand or type of powder is ok to use

[@kevinwilkinson8753]

any kind you like is fine.

[@OneManWolfpack79]

Can I still add the lemonade powder and ginger ale to the 2nd dose, the one 4 hours before the procedure?

[@emilykrahe1934]

Imma save this and do it with you when I need to do it

[@lizmarkey3298]

Is the taste what makes people nauseous? I was worried the actual solution in itself is what was making people feel ill.

[@ew5601]

Does anyone know how the taste of Suprep compares to the taste of GaviLyte? I had a colonoscopy and EGD recently, and I was given GavilLyte. I was able to get all of it down except for the last 16oz. My bowel movements were clear, and I was about to throw up. I tried alternating with Gatorade and sprite, but I still just couldn’t do it. I’d almost start gagging before it had even gotten to my mouth. My bowels ended up not being clear though. They are looking at doing a capsule endoscopy because all of my colon and stomach biopsies came back normal. I asked about doing a MiraLax prep (since it doesn’t have a taste), and they brought up Suprep. I’ve just never been good with intolerable tastes. I had to start swallowing pills at 6 or 7 because I couldn’t handle the taste of liquid antibiotics.

[@Austrian_blood]

I'm so dreading this! 😭

[@HAL_9000__]

… yeah. It tastes terrible but actually not as bad as I thought. I chugged it all immediately. Followed by two full cups of water right afterwards. And yes, it did it’s work about an hour later. I had the second dose 5 hours before my procedure… and here I am, three hours before my procedure. The “results” are still working their way out, if you know what I mean. I’m a little concerned because it doesn’t seem like it’s done it’s job completely… TMI?? All I know is I can’t wait to eat a nice big Whataburger with cheese and jalapeños!

[@jeverettrulz]

nothing like a Whata!

[@mariefla3875]

After drinking that how did it go ?

[@dannyphillips8835]

I just drank it straight with the water .all at once . No straw lololol

[@judgewilson2410]

What kind of sissy are you Lawd it doesn’t taste great but it’s not that bad hell I didn’t even dilute my first one properly and it’s not that bad

[@FOXYPEACH2]

I agree Steve. I got horrible heaves, but I didn't use straw, ice pops or ice cold water. I almost didn't make it and actually couldn't finish it because of the fear of vomiting it all out. Went for the test and it wasn't a problem. Next time will use ice water, straw besides ice pops and 7 up.

[@tmic4043]

@@FOXYPEACH2 just do what he did. Mix it with some water lemonade powder and ginger ale. I was able to drink it down with literally zero problem in about a minute

[@DianaLynn45]

It takes me about an hr to get it down 🤮. I don't put anything added in it, but I use a straw. I have to take sips of water after each swallow of suprep (kind of cleanses the palate, lol, and seems to work better than something flavored). I gag with every sip I take but manage to get it down. I've had about 5 colonoscopies (about to have another), but this prep seems to still be the easiest.

Yea sure, two of the ingredients in it are ingredients in farm crop fertilizer, and the third is a filler in laundry detergents. Look it up. No wonder the body tries to get rid of it. It's poison.

I took this product,worse taste ever.

[@lylesommers1249]

I dunno why everyone is so worried about the prep, I’ve done it twice now, its not that bad,I can drink that stuff no problem, I’ve had worse

[@mariefla3875]

I'm very worried, it is because on Google there are very bad feedback... glad it went well for you, it reassures me a little

[@lylesommers1249]

i’m not saying it doesn’t taste awful, but just down the hatch it’ll be over before you know it, dont worry about it.
