MoviPrep/Horrible Tasting Laxative Alternative Theory

[Humor]

Hi,

Please do take action against the thread if it is in the wrong section!

If not all, but most people here have had to consume either a foul tasting/impossible Bowel Prep or the not so bad Miralax at some point during their Journey required for the Colonoscopy.

I was watching Youtube the other day and watched an eating challenge regarding some sugarless gummy bears. Apparently one of the ingredients acts as a super laxative in which many challengers find themselves on the toilet for hours! They apparently taste great!

Wouldn't this technically make a great bowel prep? Haha! No more fowl tasting yuck!

This thread isn't suppose to be taken seriously, but perhaps it could if I have a case! haha!

Kind Regards.

Hi
Some sugar substitutes can have this effect but there is biological variation so some people may be more affected than others.
Too hit and miss to replace the traditional laxatives.
I do agree that something as easy as sugar free gummy bears would be just great...
not going to happen though.
Thanks for posting though
Cheers!

I know the fake sugars that are in those laxative drinks are awful! They can actually inflame the gut. I have this issue with any kind of artificial sweeteners. They need to come up with a colon-prep that does not contain artificial sweeteners. I mean they should use Stevia instead, it is a natural sugar and safer on the body.

But yeah, I agree, those colon preps are so gross and bad for the body in general.
