Suprep Reviews (Page 29) (Top voted first)

Has anyone used the new SUPREP kit before a colonoscopy?

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

Thanks!

1 dose sounds so much better. It is probably all you need. I am not going back to the doctor that did this to me ever again.

You would think if they can go to the moon the could find a more pleasant prep!

I really think you have to drink plenty of fluids to dilute the prep. Have broth, even gummy bears as long as they are yellow or clear. I had a hard time getting the prep down also but I did finish the water within the hour time frame. Lying down is the worst. I have reflux and you shouldn't lie down until at least three hours after consuming food/drink or it will come back up. I am good for another 10 years! Maybe they will have something better by then.

I was startled to feel chilled too. I checked my temp and it was 97.1, so it was a real chill. It lasted quite a while, too.

I read your post. I am 115 lbs and get cramps easily. Same advice? should I take it all? Supposed to take it at 5pm and 3 am for 10:30 am procedure.

Thanks, friend.

Well I drank it all as I was concerned I would not be thoroughly cleaned..be sure to use the Vaseline and wet wipes if you have them. I guess I would drink until everything runs clean.

I also found Suprep to cause serious nausea on an empty stomach (liquid diet). For the first dose, I drank 1/3, ate a little white bread, drank next 1/3, ate a little white bread, drank last 1/3. Then a half hour later, I drank a lot of water for two hours. For the second dose, I drank 1/3 at a time, following each with a water chaser and then drank a lot of water for the next two hours. I also put myself in a very relaxed state because that decreases the nausea. Lots of running to the loo all night long LOL. The last three hours I ran clear and by the 7am colonoscopy, was clean as a whistle and dehydrated and tired, having no sleep. I experienced no cramping with the cleanse, and that was nice.

My experience with Suprep turned out much better than I had anticipated. I mixed it with white grape/peach juice and it tasted exactly like a vodka-redbull mixed drink. I made sure it was ice cold and used a straw and just chugged. Started working in about 30mins; minimal abdominal discomfort. I began my clear liquid diet 24hrs prior to beginning my prep. Took my second dose the following morning and it was even easier that time. I was going clear about 4hrs prior to my procedure.

I only hope I don't ever have to do this again. The colonoscopy was the easy part, but the Suprep and the recovery is a different matter. The Suprep seems way to strong or harsh for me. I had dizziness, nausea, and extreme cramping. It's a full 24 hours now after the colonoscopy and I still have weakness, cramping, and nausea. I hope that the doctor prescribes a different prep next time.

I added some powered crystal light lemonade mix to the 16 oz I prepared. I added about 1/3 of the usual package that goes into a 500ml (16 oz) bottle. It really helped, I think.

I am glad you mentioned your weight. I was wondering why the same amount needs to be consumed by different body weights. My procedure is tomorrow morning at 8:30 (it's now 3:30 and I can't sleep), and have been unable to finish the second dose. I am still trying to down water, and things aren't "running clear" but pretty close to clear.

Are there any petite women in mid 70s who have used Suprep? I am age 74 and weigh 110 lbs. I don't understand why my dose is the same as a young, fit man weighing 250 lbs. or more. If there is a female who is near my age and/or weight please tell me about your experience with Suprep. I would appreciate your input.

I have done the other prep and while there is a lot of it at one time mixed with crystal light it was easier to take than suprep and actually not more fluid than the two doses of suprep and water. Just the thought of it makes me gag..glad it worked ok for you

I am a 50 year old male and am having my first colonoscopy tomorrow - and drank my first dose of Suprep 2 hours and 20 minutes ago, followed by the 2 16-ounces of water over the next hour, and so far it's been easy. It's had the intended effect and I've had no side effects or discomfort whatsoever. I also didn't mind the taste of it at all, not unlike a gatorade-type drink to my taste buds.

Tastes awful, but does what it's supposed to. Takes about 21-25 gulps to get it down. Good luck. My doctor's orders are different than those on box. Not sure what that calls for.

I took Suprep for my colonoscopy yesterday. I followed the advice of others. I used a straw and I believe a straw is necessary. I drank it as fast as I could so not to prolong it. It helped me to rest, but my rest was brief. I did not think about it when I rested. You must not tell yourself how difficult it will be, or that will make it worse. Have a firm resolve to do this for yourself. Fear and dread will only make the experience more difficult. As an example, people who fear the dentist have a lot more trouble than people like me who have no fear. It does not taste as bad as some say. It is definitely doable. It is better than other methods where more fluid must me swallowed than with Suprep. It really works very well and you will be well prepared for a successful colonoscopy. I am 74 and thin (110 lbs). My side effects were bloating after taking the first dose. I had a brief feeling of dizziness, but it went away quickly. The most important thing to do is drink water and other liquids as directed so that you do not get dehydrated as this will cause real suffering. I did not find it that bad and I will do it again in 5 years when I have to have it done again.

Unless you have a history of polyps or colon cancer you probably won't have another colonoscopy as I don't think medicare will pay after 75.

I should make it clear that the doctor refused to do the procedure because these arryhtmuas were happening. So, not only did I have to go through the SUPREP for nothing, but also never got the colonoscopy I needed.
