Im schedualed to have a colonoscopy done next week, and the prep directions that were mailed to me by the doctor said that I need to drink this Phospho-Soda stuff. Many people said that mixing it with soda or broth helps it be more palatable, but the doctors directions said not to mix with WATER...I guess my question is: Is it okay to mix the phospho-soda with broth, because technically its not water, or should I just tough it out, and drink it plain?Thanks!
Answer:
You can mix Fleet Phosphosoda with any clear liquid: water, chicken broth, ginger ale, etc. Just do not use any liquid that is colored either purple or red. Make sure to keep up on your fluids when you use the phoshosoda. It is a saline based solution that cuases you to cleanse your bowel. But you need to take in enough fluids so that you do not become dehydrated.
The Fleet Phospho-Soda will have directions on it. I took it a few years ago for the same thing. It wasn't bad, it certainly goes down easier than a shot of tequila. I forget, but I think you can mix it with something, maybe clear sodas. I'm pretty sure you don't just drink it straight. The fasting part wasn't bad, but good golly, I spent a lot of time in the bathroom. It really, really, cleans you out.
your going to want the water it help with the cleaning process, make sure you dont just down the whole bottle at once take your time and drink maybe 4oz every 45 minutes or so
