EN1️⃣ Drink slowly but consistently
→ Instead of gulping it all at once, take a sip every 5–10 minutes. It helps prevent nausea.
2️⃣ Eat light meals in the days before
→ Avoid high-fiber foods (whole grains, raw veggies, nuts, etc.) 2–3 days before. It’ll make your bowel easier to clean.
3️⃣ Use a straw
→ It helps the solution bypass your taste buds and makes the taste more tolerable.
4️⃣ Add ice or use an insulated cup
→ The colder it is, the less you’ll taste it!
5️⃣ Start your prep exactly at the recommended time
→ Timing is key to ensure your colon is perfectly clean for the procedure.
6️⃣ Create a “survival kit”
→ Wipes, soothing cream, cozy pajamas, a blanket, and Netflix within reach!
7️⃣ Stay close to the bathroom
→ When it starts working… it can happen fast! 😅
8️⃣ Alternate with clear liquids
→ Broth, apple juice, clear Gatorade, or tea without milk — it helps change up the flavor and keep you hydrated.
9️⃣ Stay hydrated
→ Drink plenty of fluids other than the prep solution to avoid dehydration and reduce the chance of a headache on procedure day.
🔟 Protect your skin
→ Apply Vaseline or a soothing cream around the anus after each bathroom visit to prevent irritation.
I hope these little tips help you feel mentally and physically ready for your prep!
