I's going to be ok :)

It's darn unpleasant for sure, but you'll manage to get them down and before you know it the prep will be over. It's most definitely the worst part of the whole thing. :angry:

I was terribly nervous before mine, and as awful as the laxative tasted it wasn't as bad as I had feared. I had to do the large jug of "Go Lightly"--I don't know who had the bright idea to name it that <_< .......

Anywhoo--best of luck tomorrow. I slept through mine and woke up feeling fine--like I had just taken a nice nap.

If it isn't too late, here's what worked for me:

Pour your glass.

Take a breath and hold it

Drink as much as you can while still holding your breath.

BEFORE taking a breath, drink one of the stronger flavored drinks that you are allowed (I used propel).

Breathe again.

For me, it was the smell that made me gag. I found I could get an 8 oz glass down in two rounds described above.

it was easier for me if i took one gulp and then gulped some water to rinse it down.

hang in there.

i had to skip the last serving because i was gagging so hard it was all i could do to not throw it up!

but the good news is that the potty part isn't painful. just time consuming!! ha!

Your system has been through a lot in the last 24 hours. Be gentle with yourself and give it a little more time. :)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
