I’ve been through it twice. The first time, the prep was brutal. The second time, someone told me to make the prep liquid very, very cold, which makes it somehow easier to swallow. Holding your nose when you drink it also helps, as does drinking it over the sink, in case the above fails, and you lose it. Finally, the way to get around the awful taste of the prep liquid is to immediately suck a sliced lemon after downing the prep liquid. It completely blocks the nasty flavor and overwhelms your tastebuds. The protocol has you avoid drinking red or orange liquids as they interfere with the scan, but you’re free to drink green or yellow. Lemon ice pops helps the medicine go down.
