I could just gag thinking about it!!! I don't know which bowel prep you
have to use...but with Dr. Redan it was a small bottle of the fleet
phosphosoda. So...bad, but at least it's only a little liquid. My
advice: don't buy the ginger lemon flavor...CVS sells the cherry. Also,
they say to pour it in a drink you like....I say pour it in a drink you
DON'T like...because you will not want to drink it ever again! :o)
