I can't drink all this stuff...

[limey]

You don't have to drink it all at once, right? Do the full bottle and sip it through out the course of an hour or so.

And baby step into it. Today you are going to get through as much as possible and tomorrow you will add a bit more, and then the next day a bit more...until you are at your full amount.

I feel you. I hate this crap. I usually try to chug it, take a break and chug again.

When I've had to do that for scans, I've always had to just chug it. Sipping just caused too much gagging, and it would all come up. What I've done is get it ready, stand over the sink, and go, with the goal to keep most of it down. Good luck!

Honestly, for just 4 oz, I'd just down it rather than sipping it slowly as if it's a real drink that should taste good. 4 oz is just a few big swigs.

How long do you have to do this? It sounds sucky

Is it choleystramine or something like that? I take that for Crohn's. I HATE it and I only have to do one pack a day. I found that if I drank it with too much water, I would feel sick. I just use the bare minimum to avoid the gritty taste. Also, make sure to brush your teeth after

What is it that you are drinking? I may have missed the other post about it. I hope they figure out your GI issues soon. They had to postpone my procedure because apparently they are out of barium. If you ever want to talk about any of this, feel free to pm me.

Would using a straw help at all?

Too much juice would cause me more digestive problems.

Just chug it.

That is what I am drinking. Orange flavor, lol.

The doctor said if I have colitis this would help...then he just has to narrow down the reason for colitis (Celiacs, Crohns, Ulcer, etc.) I am a guinea pig right now.

Very exciting.

He didn't test me the other day for Celiacs because he didn't know what my previous doctor tested for. Makes sense, but frustrating.

I am starting to get paranoid that I'll have to go Gluten Free. I started crying in the grocery store looking at prices of GF stuff.

I am obviously not a wreck or anything.

I'm sorry ((hugs)). I will tell you I was devestated when I found out I have Crohn's. But I take that drink once a day and pills four times a day and I feel SO much better. Feel free to PM me if you would like. Good luck!
