Discussions tagged “PEG 3350”

I recently had to take the PEG 3350-KCl-NaCl solution for a colonoscopy and I have to say, it was one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life. I understand it's necessary for the procedure, but oh boy, was it rough. I followed the instructions to the T and drank all of the solution as directed. I had to stay close to the bathroom for about 8 hours and the frequent watery bowel movements were nothing short of miserable. Has anyone else gone through this and found any tips or tricks to make it more bearable? I really want to prepare better next time around.
