Hi
Just had my colonoscopy test yesterday. Had to prep with Movi prep you have to drink one liter (four eight ounce glasses) at 5 pm , then another liter at 9 pm. Was very nervous before taking this. Read reviews on other boards that this stuff was awful. Well if I can drink this anybody can. It taste like you are drinking salty lemons. I took me about five to ten minutes to drink each glass during the first liter. I also took fifteen minute breaks between each glass which you are suppose to do. Then at 9 pm started the second Liter, half way through the third glass I got sick. Stopped drinking it since It looked like I was all cleaned out.

Just wanted to give my opinion that this stuff is not as bad as people say. It is not pleasant but it is not so bad that you can' t drink it.
The test is not bad at all, you are sedated and kind of out of it. Hope this helps people having to take Movi Prep.
