Colonoscopy prep and nausea - Bowel Disorders Message Board

Could anybody tell me if nausea goes along with this liquid diet for colonoscopy?? I have been on liquids only since getting up this morning and I am nauseaus to the point where I think I will vomit if I drink anything else. I don't even start my phospho-soda til tonight and I am afraid I will throw it up. I know I am nauseaus because of the empty stomach, have tried jello, yuck, am going to try some broth. And my procedure is scheduled for 2 p.m. tomorrow, I hope I can make it.

Yeah, I felt nauseous, and I puke from the phospho-soda anyway, but I have a weak stomach. So if you're like me, you'll probably puke from the taste. Sorry I'm not so encouraging.

did the puking affect your having your test though?? If I puke up the solution I don't get the prep accomplished. UGH this really is no fun

Well, I held it down as long as possible, and then I had to throw up. Now it might not be that way for you, but I have a really weak stomach. what I did was take a little at a time, in case I did throw up some, I'd still have something to go through the prep. I'm sorry if I scared you, just because I threw up doesnt mean you will, so think positive.

well I didn't throw up last nights dose, but I have to say it was the absolute grossest stuff I have ever drank before. I just took this mornings dose with ginger ale and it wasn't much better. I just want this over with and then I am going straight to Wendys for a frosty-hahaha
