Could you share your experience using half litely. Cramps, nauseas etc. Thanks ## if you are taking half lytely, before drinking get a fresh lemon get the juice in your mouth (use a straw to drink it helps) ## For my 3rd ever colonoscopy my doctor prescribed this prep, saying the previous prep used (with which I had had no problems) was no longer manufactured. A) Halflytely cost me over $70 (with insurance); B) The amount of liquid required to be consumed is unreasonable by comparison to other methods; C) The side effects which I experienced (nausea, discomfort, cramping) made it nearly impossible to finish the quantity. If it is this stressful, people will not do the prep properly. Perhaps worse, they will refuse to have another colonoscopy if given no other option. Terrible experience!
