    I used to like Gatorade, not anymore! I am with you on this one! However it beats that other crap they used to make us drink, that stuff they took off the market about a year ago. Cannot remember the name but that was nasty!
    Put a close pin on your nose, maybe that will help! LOL

    gotta drink again in 6 more months.
    I guess it didn't go as well as i had hoped. what are the chances - last september they cut out 4, one questionable. so, they were all gone then right? so, today, I have 6 more - ranging from 4mm up to 15 mm in size (and questionable). diverticulosis (knew that), and something I am looking up - post surgical colo-colonic anastomosis. Will be anxiously awaiting the biopsy tho...here we go again.

    colo-colonic anastomosis
    That's where the surgeon reconnected parts of your colon during the resection. I have a colo-colonic anastomosis and a colo-ileac anastomosis (colon to the small intestine) from the double resection. It's not a diagnosis or anything to worry about - it's your internal surgical scar.

    Regarding rapid polyp growth - I have a friend who's been on 6 month colonoscopies for years - she grows polyps very fast. I hope that this doesn't continue to be the case for you, but in any event, better to get them out before they become cancerous.

    Let us know the biopsy results

    Anyone who has ever had a colonoscopy recently hates Gatorade, I wonder if Gatorade knows how their product is being used? Now that would make a hilarious commercail, instead of the colored sweat coming out of the athletes it would be colored............... Never mind, you get the picture!

    Lemon Lime
    gatorade works best for me. It goes better with the 'salty' taste of the Miralax.

    I wouldn't mind mixing that stuff with Gatorade than water,tho
    the pineapple flavor of Go-litely or whatever isn't too bad for me. For next one I;ll see if they let me use gatorade............When I'm thirsty, I like the flavors of Gator and Power- ade (red, blue, yellow)....steve

    Gatorade is awful!
    I couldn't drink it with Miralax or while I was on chemo. Just tasted off. I found the best thing for scope prep was Lemonade. The flavor is strong and tart enough to mask the taste.

    it was ok
    a friend suggested that next time, in 6 months....(blah) to try the powerade instead....but, alas...as I said...AGAIN in 6 months. I do not have the all clear.

    MoviPrep wasn't bad
    Not as salty, kind of lemony. You still hate it well before you're done with the second liter, but I was running clear by then, and didn't have to finish it. (I always eat lightly the day before my prep, to minimize the job I have to do, or is that doo-doo!)
