Golytely gag reflex

I am having a lot of trouble drinking that golytely stuff. It tastes bad and my throat is closing and I'm gagging. I've already thrown it up once as well.

I called the doc office and they said I could mix it with lemon Crystal Light. I sent the son. It's barely helping, I am still gagging.

They are not giving me any alternatives. Just to drink it and I'm really not sure I can.

July 2009: Thought I'd update this because I get a lot of hits on this post. To those of you who've googled Golytely there IS an alternative to that nasty stuff. Magnesium Citrate. It's pretty bad too but you drink less than the entire gallon of Golytely. There is also Halflytly; it's a half gallon of the Golytely. I didn't think it was *fair* that a friend of mine got the halflytely when just 4 months prior I had to have the whole freaking gallon.

Good luck, I hope whatever you have to drink it goes down easy (some people do find it easier than I did) and that the docs don't find any horrible stuff when you have your procedure. btw, the procedure is a breeze compared to the prep.
