Kurt,

 KW>  Argh - yes. The older prep, which apparently had some bad side
 KW>  effects was much easier - I think it was 32 oz?

  That My-Lytely was NASTY. The lemon flavoring was so acidic and
tart, that it reacted violently with the stomach acid I had, and I
could not finish the prep work...as my throat and esophagus were
burning. 

  The next time I have one done, I'm doing 2 citrate of magnesia 
(Clear), 8 hours apart...with 2 Ducolax on the first one, and 1
Ducolax on the second one. After the first one, it only takes 10
minutes before...as Jeff Foxworthy noted..."the underwear taps you
on the shoulder, and says RUN!!" <G>.

 KW>  I don't recall apple juice being on the recommended list where I
 KW>  went. The prohibited foods were mostly anything dark or red. I'll
 KW>  need to try apple juice, as I'm about due for another one.

  Apple Juice is like prune juice to me. I've heard that as well, to
avoid anything red or brown.

 KW>  I recover well from the anaesthesia, so always look forward to the
 KW>  first meal afterwards. Last was a San Francisco-style Carne Asada
 KW>  burrito. Gotta have something to look forward to...

  I have to have Zofran beforehand, to prevent vomiting...and Pepcid
beforehand, to deal with the stomach acid.

  Now, if I could convert the flatulence afterwards for use in my car,
I'd buy a truckload of Bush's Baked Beans, ask Duke for the secret
formula, and tell OPEC what they could do with their gas prices!! <G>
I didn't get any when I was at the store, as I forgot them, plus the
budget this month is tighter than a frog's [butt] under water. :P

  My next one is next April.

Daryl
