I have nothing but praise for Osmo Prep oral. I dreaded my 1st 2 colonoscopies,(because of that awful tasting liquid prep, but I will dread them no more.

By 7:10 I was visiting the bat

This is my second time using Osmoprep. I love it and it is easy to use. I drank more than the required amount of fluids and had not problems. I had no cramping either. I think this is the best bowel prep. I can't stomach the other bowel preps like go lytely.
