I have the same fears about the C'scopy. Most people say they never finish all the prep. If you start feeling sick, stop & have a popsicle & start again when you think you can drink more. I tried the Halflytely lemon lime mixed with country time lemonade, Tang is the best if you're allowed orange. It didn't taste bad to me. The reason I suggested Miralax is because it is tasteless. It is called PEG 3350 in most of the preps. I've postponed 2 appt's already because of allergic reaction to the prep. The stress can make you sick. Let us know how this turns out.
