Is There Anything I Can Do To Clear My Intestines Without High Quantities Of Fluid And Laxatives For Colonoscopy?

I have made two attempts to drink the prep for a colonoscopy. First the gallon prep and then the 64 oz prep. I threw both up for some reason. I have had colonoscopies before and had no problem with the prep. Is there anything else I can do to clear my intestines without the high quantities of fluid and laxatives?

Hi...you can be on liquid diet for 2-3 days and clear fluids on the day before colonoscopy... also you can have the 64 oz prep mixed with a areated cold drink to mask its taste...
