2. Drink the colonoscopy prep laxative cold
There are many types of colonoscopy prep drinks available by prescription or over the counter, so you have more options to choose from. No matter which one you choose, you’ll have to drink a relatively large volume.
What you should also know from the start is that, unfortunately, consuming this drink can cause vomiting and nausea. If you find it very difficult to drink your colonoscopy prep without throwing up, doctors recommend consuming the laxative cold. Moreover, some doctors point out that using a straw to drink the thing can make the experience less awful.
So, make sure you keep the drink in the fridge for a couple of hours before having it.
