Colonoscopy Preps

About four months ago, I posted on colonclub.com a query about colonoscopy preps. The usual responses were forthcoming about the unpleasantness of the experience without any real good suggestions, until today. Someone indicated there was a new prep - Pico Salex - which was reasonable tasting. Usually GI doctor's have a preference, but I plan to inquire for next one in a few months.

EndoNurse Magazine, online, a publication for gastrointestinal nurses, has technical information on bowel preparation and clinical studies about effectiveness and patient tolerance including a 2006 Bowel Prep Update, Which Bowel Preps are Best for Your Patients,- http://www.endonurse.com/articles/bowel_preps/586_661feat2.html and Bowel Preps: the Current and Future Outlook.- http://www.endonurse.com/articles/bowel_preps/586_561feat1.html
