@Mountaindewed Thanks. There are some ways I dread this more than the EGD/colonoscopy. I gagged a lot the last time I had to drink barium. Colonoscopy prep sucks but I think she's having me drink all the stuff over the day instead of just a few hours. I think that will make it easier. I also get to eat gummi worms during the clear liquid time and I think that being able to chew something will help a lot.

I hope that you finally get some relief with this treatment. Did the IBGard help at all? It's helping me some. Some days a lot and some days a little but definitely better that without it. The peppermint essential oil also helps more than I expected. The only problem is the IBGard is expensive but I'll deal with the cost if I don't feel nauseous all the time.
