Has anyone used the new SUPREP kit before a colonoscopy?

Would like any comments about taste, ease or side effects.

Thanks!

REPORT

Having first colonoscopy tomorrow. Took first dose of Suprep at 2:00pm. Followed suggestions about chilling the Suprep and using a straw. Was nasty but got it down. Started working in 45 minutes. Ate lightly yesterday but I was going on and off until 6:30. Mostly water. Next dose is at 9:00pm. Using Vaseline but will definitely get preparation H for my husband when he goes for his colonoscopy. My poor hole is sore! Have been hydrating all day so I think that helped me. Time to get ready for second dose. Hope it won't keep me going for 4 1/2 hours! Thanks to all for the great tips!

I didn't have diet restrictions for the Suprep other than a liquid diet 24 hours before. I did eat lightly the day before the 24 hour liquid diet. Colonoscopy was fine, no polyps. I did have jello, broth, juice etc. I really think drinking the Suprep is best on a stomach that has something in it. (water, jello, etc.)
I am 55 and this was my first colonoscopy. Again, I thank everyone for the tips. They were a great help!

It is much better than previous versions, but is something that would take getting used to. It does start working quickly, no cramping or bloating of any kind.

Took the first dose about 3 hours ago. It started working in less than 30 min. I really had to stay right by the bathroom for a couple of hours. The worst of it is the sore butt! I am using Preparation H for that and now laying down resting. I have to take the next dose in an hour and a half, so may have a rough evening. My colonoscopy is in the morning. I am hoping for a restful night and a clean bill of health in the morning.

That's cause they check for hemmoroids, and they don't miss much! :)

I have had 12 colonoscopys for the last 40 years cause of colon cancer in my 30s. I have used various preps and ever had a problem. I ate light 2 days prior and had only an egg, toast and
And cottage cheese the day before. Prep was suprep. I had diarrhea 2 times that day BEFORE starting the prep. Drinking prep was not a problem. Immediately started working and it was clear already. Then got chills and was cold for an hour. Headache, Also lightheaded. Slept well. Took morning dose and in 5 minutes water shot out of my mouth and vomited it all up. Chills again. Felt terrible, very dizzy and headache. Anyway, ended up that i was very dehydrated and at the hospital and they could not get a vein to rehydrate me. After trying 3 places got it in my hand. Almost passed out twice. Colonoscopy went fine. 2 polyps but I slept at home the next 8 hours. This is 4 hours later and I am ready to sleep again! Next time I do a different prep and drink more fluids.

Obviously you were sick prior to using Suprep if you had diarrhea before drinking it. Glad everything turned out well for you!

I have only had one colonoscopy and used Suprep. I have heard that the other preps are just as bad plus you have to drink a gallon compared to two 16oz. drinks plus water. Hopefully they will come up with a better prep before my next colonoscopy!

I used it yesterday. There was no discomfort, no cramping. It worked very quickly on me, 15 minutes after completing the first dose, my colon was already doing its thing. It tasted horrible, a very salty, raspberry, feet sort of taste. I couldn't find anything to disguise the flavor. I just mixed with water and chugged it. Took me about four times to get each dose down.

Can you take both doses of suprep the night before colonoscopy?

REPLY

Was this helpful? 0

Yes. I had to take the first dose at 3:00pm and the second at 9:00pm. Your doctor will tell you what times to take it as everyone is different. I had my colonoscopy the next morning. I had to be there by 9:00 am.

By the way using Vaseline and baby wipes is the way too go. I remember from the last colonoscopy 6 years ago that my butt was raw from going to the bathroom so much!
