Hi Arne,

Why wouldn’t swallowing multiple visicol

pills with a bunch of water at timed increments be preferable to swallowing

gack-o-liscious, phospho-go-darkly, room temp or chilled, flavored or plain,

makes-you-wanna-puke whatever? I’m only asking because unlike your

bride, I’ve yet to have my “first” (please give Judy my

sympathies… sounds like she had an awful time, poor thing!). And anyone

to whom I’ve ever, ever recommended Visicol, and has gone with the

recommendation, has said their doctors were pleased with the prep.

Popping pills with water seems the most

palatable way to go… IMHO. Lee’s hoping for a better prep as a

55th birthday present, lol… well, personally, I’m

awaiting further technological improvements with the pill cam… so that –

pending an a-o-k outcome, of course – there’d be no need for a roto-rooter

up my bum, thank you very, very, VERY much.

Judy had her first last month (July will be my 19th). She had the

phosphate regimen.

Based on what I've seen of the last 10 or so of mine, I'd say her

prep was not as effective as Go-Lytely, and probably not much more palatable (and the endoscopist was not

nearly as good as mine).

I WILL say she doesn't think she'll have another one - ever.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a better prep.
