Welcome reluctantpatient

Hmm, thats a tough call... the good patient in me says that you have to follow his instructions. I have taken Golytly before and I feel for you. My doc allows me to take the pills (Visicol) so I'm much happier about
that now. Some people here will tell you that they have done the prep that makes them feel comfortable with or without their docs blessing so I can't steer you one way or the other. My advice would be to personally talk to your doctor (not the nurse or receptionist) and tell him that you had a previous bad experience with the Golytely and would like some more suggestions. Some docs won't waiver and some give you 3-4 different options which mine does. Good luck
