Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected. I was 16 ounces into that horridly blekky Trilyte when my Miniere's Disease came to the rescue with a strong vertigo attack. I, uh, expelled everything consumed thus far, and was out of commission for the next few hours, hugging the floor while the world revolved around me. Vertigo is better than Cedar Point.

I remain vaguely haunted by the taste of Trilyte, though I'm hoping the memory will fade as the years pass. I am now informed (thank you, Mom) that there are alternatives to Trilyte. So rather than drink a whole gallon of toxic waste, I could use alternatives involving just 4 oz of fluid intake, though the taste is considerably worse (toxic waste gone sour), and you supplement it with laxatives and enemas. Or something like that. I've been avoiding information overload, the TMI Syndrome, lest it bring on another visit from Cousin Vertigo.

The bottom line: no matter what route you go, prepping for a colonoscopy sucks.
