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.

BeyondtheRainbow The IBgard was messing with my heartburn. But the drops I got are ok. Mainly I've been taking Pepcid, Zofran, Dramamine and Tylenol.
I was mainly worried about not going "clear" with my colonoscopy prep. I had to drink half of it starting at 5PM like a glass every half hour. Then I had to wake up at 4:30 to drink the other half.
But at least its gotten a lot better in the last 10 years.
