I got the first half gallon down the night before, but with the 2nd half gallon in the morning I couldn't quit vomitting! All of this idea of it's so much better is not true!

this was awful! I had chills & a severe headache by the time I went in for my colonoscopy, It's taken me 4 days to recover from dehydration, chills, vomitting, and my headache. I will never take Golytely again.

I had a very good experience with "Go-Lightly" and was happy that I went this route compared to the pill only approach.

I had a very good experience with "Go-Lightly" and was happy that I went this route compared to the pill only approach. It's much less expensive than the pills, you drink about the same massive amounts of fluid either way and the supposed bad taste was easily overcome with a little crystal light. Was back to normal immediately after the procedure. I ate a light breakfast the morning before the procedure (which occured the next morning at around 9 am)and fasted until starting the Golytely around 6 pm. Was cleaned out by bed time and slept normally that night. Overall, not as bad a situation as I expected, this being my first colonoscopy.

While this works/does it's job, it also has for me, wicked side effects. I was throwing up green half way through the "jug" of stuff. :o( Other than that, it was alright. Now I need to take the stuff again and wondering if I can mix it with Gateraid or Powerade instead of water. And yeah, it is a little better if it's cold.

My son has an extra foot fo colon, and has been having bowel problems for years. He has had to have an NG tube a few times to use this medicine. It's horrible, but it definately works. Saved his life a couple of times. For people with chronic bowel and/or constipation problems, I recommend Amitiza. My son has been on it for over a year and has not required any more clean-outs.
