I have been on a almost 2 week clear liquid diet, and my bm's are liquid. How bad will the bowl prep be on me? I have heared that plan on spending allot of time in the bathroom. If I'm not eating solid food how much could be in there? Thanks for any help you can give. Cindy

It depends on what they have you taking. If it's something like Go Lightly, spend a lot of time in the potty because it's a lot of liquid. If it's something like Fleet's Phospho Soda, it's nasty but since you should be pretty well cleaned out anyway, might not be so bad. Just plan on being close to the bathroom until you know for sure how it's gonna affect you.

Cindy, Surprisingly, yes, you will want to be near the bathroom even though you are taking the Fleets stuff. I don't know where it comes from but it's there. It's mostly liquid, kind of icky orangish/yellow. And when you think there is nothing more to come out, you take the second dose & it starts all over again. Don't be surprised if the antiobiotics the next day cause the same reaction. It does for a good number of patients. It won't be as bad as the day before though. Dixie
