User Reviews for GaviLyte-G oral

This is my 3rd time doing a colonoscopy prep and I have to say this is by far the BEST tasting prep I have used. The preps are usually sooooo salty that they are unbearable to the point of gagging and vomiting. What makes it easier for me is I drink 8 oz every 15-20 minutes and between each sip I take I sip a tiny bit of regular lemonade. Not sure why others are giving this prep bad reviews...... maybe they donâ??t know how truly bad some of the other prep solutions are.

Unable to drink this; it's so salty and awful. I have downed two 8-ounce glasses while concurrently sucking on lemon drop but I can't go on without throwing up. Not sure what to do at this point. Have heard from some others that the Miralax option is much more humane? I should have insisted on this other option.

I did as instructed in preparation for a colonoscopy. Everything went well. The colonoscopy was cancelled. That was a week ago. I've been experiencing abdominal pain on the right side of my abdomen since using the prep and alternate between constipation and diarrhea. This was suppose to be a routine check, not the start of a new medical issue. I will NEVER go through this again.

I have to laugh at the other reviews. This is not that bad. It has almost no taste, the lemon makes it easier, more of a salt water solution - which it is. Maybe it wasn't bad for me is because I always eat a healthy diet and all these other people are use to junk food and alcohol. It was not bitter nor real sweet. Just the volume you have to drink and time span - stay home and don't party like the others.

Horrible! No one told me how bad this would be I could not get the second half to go down without vomiting, I will never take this again. Talk to your doctor get alternative this is really bad!

This product is so vile and hard to drink you will cry. I have also used Miralax polyethylene 3350 (over the counter product) mixed with gatorade for my last prep. Doctor approved and better tolerated The Gavilyte-G is old school and out of date! Talk to your doctor!

I can't imagine how it must taste plain. I swear on my life the way I prepared it was not bad at ALL. I made homemade lemonade, LOTS of lemon juice and some sugar. Probably not super healthy, but it's all comin' out anyways! I made it in a couple small batches and added it to the large jug slowly. All you need is 1

Gavilyte-G has the most vile disgusting taste of anything I've ever experienced. Tastes worse than many chemical cleaners, worse than sun block and bug spray, worse than any rotten food, and worse than many medications that are not even intended to be taken orally. How they can expect anyone to willingly consume FOUR LITERS of this is beyond my comprehension. I found chemotherapy downright delightful compared to Gavilyte-G

I will NEVER do this again. Not only is it disgusting to drink (one time I drank it without the flavoring and gagged the entire gallon, the next time I added the flavor and had the worst aftertaste that I had to wash off my tongue with a washrag!) but it sat in my stomach causing bloating and painful distention for hours before working. I have had other treatments that were much less in volume and worked 10x faster.

Took this prep for my third colonoscopy. It gave me a splitting headache, and didn't clear the bowel as well as the previous preps did.

Very effective but being able to complete the process is difficult. I'm quite confident, if the company could come up with a way to make a better tasting product, they would make some money.

I'm pushing into hour 3 of this stuff. I've drank each 8 ounce glass down. But nothing. I've urinated several times, but other than that, nothing. Seriously worried I'll need to call of my colonoscopy, which is scheduled for tomorrow. Everyone says it's supposed to work within an hour.

I took this medicine with a cup of coffee as a chaser. It really went down fairly easy. I had mixed it and refrigerated it over night. My butt hurts from sitting on the toilet, but it definitely works. Hope my septic tank can handle everything coming out!

For my 10 year colonoscopy, I had a gallon (4 liters) of Gavilyte-G. It tasted like raw fish water! In order, to get it down, I had to swish my mouth with mouthwash, after every 8 ounces of fluid. It did work, but it wasn't worth the discomfort!

This is not a pleasant experience but it did work for me. I put the amount in a glass n put in freezer till my timer went off then went and guzzled it down then refilled the glass. It seemed to work in waves for me.. I am having surgery in the morning..

I've had 5 colonoscopies over the last 10 years. The first was with this prep and had to be stopped due to inflammation and bleeding. My doctor had me do a different style of prep and that resulted in successful procedures over the years which I tolerated very well. Lately, I had to change doctors. The new doc insisted on this prep, even after I provided records from former doc and expressed my concerns. Late the night before the procedure I started bleeding. They attempted the coly in the morning, but had to stop due to inflammation. I have to have another coly again,now less than a month later. IF, the doctor prescribes this again, I will be looking for a new doctor. My digestive tract is still irritated. (History of diverticulosis and polyps, but no bleeding ever, except with this prep.) I see that a lot of people seem to tolerate this well. Unfortunately, I am not one of them. Read More Read Less

what was suppose to be 3 hours has turned into 4 so far. Leaving me with a swollen, bloated, cramping painful stomach. Constipated to say least is how I feel at moment, with extremely sharp stabbing pains through stomach into back area. Painful to walk or lay down, as though I will throw up any second... Drank all but 2 8 oz glasses of this horrific drink and I can not consume another drop. Will probably have to reschedule. Why in world would they not have put me on the 2 liter drink with 6 hours to consume. Not to mention three or four flavors to choose from. Believe me it makes the world of difference. Ive done this before and I was given the other colon cleanse which worked like a charm fast and easy... Does anyone know if I can reschedule? After 12 am now and I am not to have anything after midnight seeing appointment is 630 am.Just wish the pain would stop. Read More Read Less

I couldn't get the 2nd half down. It made me naseous and triggered by gag reflex.

It tastes absolutely dreadful and took 5 hrs before having the 1st bowel movement even though I should have had a bowel movement within the 1st hr.

I've used it successfully 8 times before but this time it failed to perform. Seems they may have changed the product. I followed the directions exactly as I always have.
