I wouldn't,goodness knows what your insides will look like.You should have been advised not to drink anything red or orange.I would stick to lemon or lime to be safe.If you can,drink your prep.icey cold,with a straw,so it by passes the taste buds.

I agree. Red and purple are off limits due to the possibility of obscuring the view of the intestinal wall.

Ditto the straw part -- what is best is if you can find the really wide ones that are used for malts or shakes... goes down faster that way

Also, make sure the straw is toward the very back of your tongue so you don't have to taste the prep solution. Mine tasted horrible, so the straw was a necessity. It helped tremendously to have it very cold, too.

MoviPrep. The ascorbic acid in it made it have a weird salty lemon flavor that didn't sit well with my taste buds. If I ever have to do it again, I'm asking for something else with a better flavor and less liquid to drink as I had to drink a half gallon (8 oz every 15 minutes for each 32 ounce canister). I was so glad when it was totally gone.

They all taste vile but I had one called fleet which was a very small amount but still tasted vile.
