I forget all you eat with a bowel prep. I know people on here have had to do it and I did it a year ago. Jello that isn't red I know.

First, my suggestion to help the taste of the prep: A whole box of crystal light. I did lemonade; there may be other flavors without the dyes you can't have. It wasn't GOOD but it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. My hospital says not to mix it with sugary drinks or ice; I've seen those recommended. Use a straw so you don't taste it as much.
I had juice, gatorade, lots of hot tea with plenty of sugar (that was the thing that helped the most), broth, ,green jello and clear gummi bears (which I don't think every place allows).
Other tip, my instructions said to use ointment and baby wipes to decrease soreness. I think diaper cream (A&D ointment) probably is better than vaseline which I used.
The only bad thing is I don't know how long it will take me to try lemonade again. Right now it sounds terrible.
