    Migraine and meniere's patient here too... I finally made it through my prep this year too and got my first colonoscopy with no major issues. I'd tried twice before and couldn't get through the prep without vomiting it all up. I was just in a much worse place with my vertigo and nausea and therefore my tummy just couldn't take it. So waited until I was having a much better spell to try again and I did it! I was so happy to get through it and now that I did I have a better idea of what state I need to be in migraine and Meniere's wise, so that's helpful. I know your Meniere's is significantly more severe than mine Kelly... so I don't know how you did it... happy for you because it really is such an important test to know that we can get through for both preventative and if we should ever need to for any problem in the future!!

      You know- there are people who don't have our chronic health issues who vomit it up, so I think it is hard no matter what sometimes. And certain brainds seem to be worse than others. I'm thrilled for you that you got through the prep this year after testing to see what state your body needed to be in. Well done for trying again! As you said, it's such an important preventative test! Happy to see you/hear from you!!

    As a bright UA-cam creator is known to say with regularity: You are not alone. I feel a bit guilty, but I giggled a time or two. (This should be required watching for all who have to ingest the prep, plus the makers of the stuff!)
    PS: Made a long comment on your 10/13 video. 🤗

      Thank you!! That means so much to hear. And I'm glad you laughed. I laughed watching it back! Yes! the makers of the stuff should have to watch ppl try to get the prep down.

    I had that same brand prep and I couldn't do it lol- I ended up just going and buying a bunch of miralax and Gatorade.

      Thank you for letting me know I'm not the only one who struggled with it! It was horrid. Next time, I'm gonna ask my dr if I can do the miralax route.

    Im absolutely terrified of this prep 😭😭😭 please help me i have a massive fear of nausea and vomiting and when i had moviprep 8 years ago i was sick and i have flashbacks. Im having bowel surgery soon and will be doing this prep and i am so so scared 😭

    • @IncredibleAnyway

      Hi - I would make sure you've told your doctor of your concern about the prep and ask them if there is an option that has the least chance for nausea and vomiting. I"d also ask them if there is something you can take to ease your symptoms. I always feel better when I have a plan - so don't hesitate to call your doctor's office and express this to them. I'm sorry you need to have bowel surgery. I'm rooting for you. Please keep me updated.

    Ahg... I never had a colonoscopy but stomag and colon issues run in my famely. So many nights i need a medical drink like that. I dont know what its called but it is Macogrol & Electrolytes. And that tastes weirdly sweet to and not a good sweet 😉. My issues may also come from my genetic disorder. The docktors see a increased number of patience dealing with consipation from young age.
    Hope your examination whas going well. Hugs Marloes ❤️

      @@ginnyvibes it is a good idea to discuss it with your surgeon or prescribing doctor. My doctor gave it to me. However, I think there are some people who have had problems with it. This is the same with all medications I suppose. Humans are all different. I was just glad I’ve never had to drink a large quantity of stuff.
