Liquid Miralax

I'm very nervous about starting the liquid Miralax as in the past with a colonoscopy prep (which I know is a much larger amt) I get terribly nauseated.
Any suggestions as to how to get the 17g down? I have to do this twice a day and I've heard just plain water is awful. I plan on plugging my nose.
Also, does anyone else have low energy with constipation?
Thank you SO much

How are you doing, Gina?

I hope everything is going well and you didn't end up nauseated.

But the nausea can be a normal side effect of most of these laxative medications. in many cases it's due to the stimulation of the bowel that happens, there's some internal bloating and cramping that you may not always feel, but it can put some pressure on the stomach making you feel sick.

You can learn more MiraLax details here.

Feeling lethargic, when constipated, makes sense, because your body is basically holding in a lot of waste and toxins that it would normally expel.
