    I am taking the camera test of my digestive track tomorrow. I was told to drink this stuff at noon today...well I finally drank it by 2...awful stuff. I wish the label said okay to add water. It would have made it more tolerable. It is now 9:32pm and my bowels haven't even began to empty...I feel bloated but so far that's it....I hope it works by morning. good grief.
