Which colonoscopy prep to use?

I don't think any of them are gentle lol but the one I found most tolerable taste wise was the Miralax Prep

I so sympathize! Preps tear me up too. And it's not the taste or flavor or amount to drink, its the amount of time on the toilet. My butthole gets raw and bleeding and then I end up dehydrated before the procedure and with a horrible migraine. I'm searching for a sdolution too. The suprep is a little gentler for me, especially in terms of toilet time but the first bottle clears me out and it seems the second is just overkill. Is there really a reason to drink the second batch if you're already pooping clear liquid? I wish they would individualize the preps. It doesn't make sense to me that my prep at 120 lbs should be the same as my husband's who weighs twice as much

Also does anyone get iv liquids at a colonoscopy? I never do and I can't help but wonder if they might help my headaches at the time of. I've had to wait 2-3 hours for my turn in the procedure room for the last two colonoscopies, in absolute agony with a headache.

Apologies if im hijacking the thread! Seemed kind of related.

I agree about prepopik. It was by far the easiest prep I’ve done. You just drink a small cup of the prep, and then you can just drink water at your leisure afterwards.

I have always had good luck with 2 bottles of Mag CItrate spaced about 6 hours apart, with lots of water before and after (but not after midnight before a morning procedure).

if you are still having squirts when going to procedure, you need to start earlier than usually directed. Empty is empty, and there is no harm (other than hunger) of getting empty early.
