Has anyone used the new SUPREP kit before a colonoscopy?

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

Thanks!

My doctor said 4 hours apart for the Suprep. The instructions that come with the product mention 10 to 12 hours apart! I would like a bit more of a rest than the 4 hour interval before I drink the 2nd half of that vile stuff. :( Sigh. I was going to give myself an extra hour or two, which would still give me 9 hours before the procedure. Does anyone know what the thing with the timing is about?

Thanks!

I used Suprep recently before a colonoscopy. Never again! Immediately after returning from the hospital I began feeling like I was getting over the flu (achy, low grade fever, exhausted,) A week later my ankles swelled and I could barely walk on them and my hands broke out in a horrific rash. They looked like they'd been scalded. I also had numerous red spots on other parts of my body. I had blood work done and nothing showed up. I'm convinced I had an allergic reaction to this medication. I had a colonoscopy 12 years ago using a different prep and no problems. I'm currently on prednisone for my swollen ankles and cortisone ointment for my horrific skin rash. My doctor said he'd never seen anything like this particular rash before.

I tried suprep today. Nastiest taste ever. I numbed mouth with menthol cough drop, drank it cold, used straw. I visciously threw up after about 2 oz.
had to call dr for anti nausea med. she wants me sucking on lemon/lime wedges in between sips and try again.

Ok folks. I'll share my story. Hope it helps. I'm having my 3rd colonoscopy tomorrow. I have been diagnosed with Crohn's, so I am sure there is more to come. Today's prep is Suprep. At first while drinking it, I was saying that it is worse than GoLytely. But now that I'm done with the first bottle and I'm drinking water. It's better. That awful taste is out of my mouth. With GoLytely it lasts for much longer because of the shear volume. Suprep started worked its magic in about 15 minutes. I'm not looking forward to the second bottle which I am supposed to do in the morning before the procedure. I feel like I will be giving the doc a present if I do what they tell me. But he obviously knows more than I do. Hahaha we shall see. I am also a nurse and have worked in a GI clinic and do see what happens on the other end when the patient doesn't do the prep correctly. So I will be a good patient and do as I am told. (We shall see who really knows more ). I do have Zofran on hand for any nausea. I wish I could use CBD but alas I cannot as a nurse. But I do recommend it to my patients!! So happy to you all!!!

I've actually had worse tasting preps. Just took my first dose and I added a crystal light tangerine mango packet to mine (doc okay'd) and got through it. But I had a few odd reactions. 1) Quite naseaus (but did not omit), required laying down. 2) My teeth feel weird, like sensitive. 3) Could barely get through the two 16 oz waters afterward and it took about two hours instead of one, because I was so bloated and full. And 4) I'm still sitting here an hour plus later with barely a few trickles of loose stool.

The mixture was the worst thing I ever tasted, however the second dose was easier to get down than the first dose, since I had become somewhat used to it. I sucked on a popsicle in between sips of the mixture. Good luck.

First time user. Went to Internet to get comments and advice on best way to take and after effects. All comments on how to take reflected my physician's views. Which I would have followed anyway. I was really looking for some advice on ways to avoid nausea, vomiting, cramps, etc. So, followed the directions explicitly. Popped a few Demerol an hour or so before. No nausea, no cramps, no discomfort other than feeling bloated from so much intake of liquid. Not a bad taste. Quick results. So to me the entire experience was "cake". This was about my dozenth or so scope. Most Likely, considering my age (81), my last.

It didn't taste horrible but it wasn't great like salty juice. Within 15 minutes it was time to set up camp in the bathroom. Passed water constantly for like 3 hours then it was only once in a while. I did throw up half hour after the second dose however

Yesterday I used Suprep for the first time and found the taste to be tolerable, I told a family member much more so than Citroma, believe it or not. I guess it really depends upon your taste buds. It worked quickly, I didn’t have the cramping, vomiting and bloating as some have stated. When I’m required to have my next colonoscopy would not mind using it again; plus the doctor provided the product, no out of pocket cost for me. : )

I was told not to take arthritis mess (basically, NSAIDs) after three days before the procedure.

Re: Diane (# 12)

I had a similar experience. Although I had some movement after about an hr it took my body almost 5hrs before I made significant progress eliminating after taking the first dose. Warm mint tea helped me along the way and kept my body warmed too. The color of the BMs didn’t change on the first day but I was finally able to go to bed at 11PM. By that time my body was exhausted and I slept through until about 4:30AM. I started the second dose in the morning at 4:45 and it seemed to begin to work much faster. After drinking the solution I started walking around the house for about 10-15min, and after about 20min I was able to get on with the elimination. I drank the 2 glasses of water throughout the hour and noticed that the BMs we’re coming much faster and easier after each sip. With the second dose there was much less bloating compared to the day before and within the hour the stools began to run clearer. I was glad to see this because I really didn’t want to have to postpone my procedure after fasting and drinking the super sweet but still bitter Suprep solution.

Did it at 5pm. Taste wasn’t terrible and worked as planned.

New as in "when"? I know the norm in most products. This usually means the product is failing and "new" is a beg off in an attempt to keep sales up.
