Hi & welcome, Kurt!  I recognized your name from other echoes but don't recall seeing it here before.  Recently you wrote in a message to Daryl Stout:

KW>  The laxative prep is a pain,


          Yeah.  I didn't find the stuff tasted too bad if it was well chilled beforehand, but it took me 5 1/2 hours to get through 4 litres (about a gallon in US measurements) of it.  I was glad I had hung in there when another person who said he'd finished most but not all of it was informed he'd have to repeat the whole process because his innards weren't clean enough... [wry grin].



KW>  but given that beer is OK beforehand,


          It seems to me a lot depends on who you ask.  My impression was that alcoholic beverages are OK until you start drinking the laxative prep....  :-)



KW>  living on jello, broth and beer is an interesting
KW>  experience.


          Uh-huh.  I often found myself tempted to grab a morsel of real food. But I see you neglected apple juice, which contains a good balance of minerals and which seemed to help me while I was in the process of doing the prep.  ;-)
