The tastless pills that take the place of the liquid are called visicol. Ask for them next time.
I asked for the pills last time....because it was a NEW doc he would NOT give them to me....said because of their high sodium or something or other, that I would have to have been through the procedure with him one other time before he will allow them....needless to say, I was a little unhappy....plus, and this is probably WAY more info than needed, it appears I have a VERY curvy colon....lots and twists and turns.....just takes me more time to empty it out, evidently....which means I get to endure the pre-op LONGER than MOST. One more year, and I get to go back....oh, whoopee....NOT.
