Oral saline laxative

I tried to drink 1 c water w/ 2-3 tblspn of epsom salt. It was so vile and bitter I wanted to throw up immediately. I tried lemon juice and also sugar without any success. Any ideas?

I dont think there is anything to make it taste better sorry might try making it into some grape drink

Why to want to take ES . Try MOM it works about the same as ES. Unless you doing a flush when you start it with ES & very little water. I have done the flush with the ES & then coffee & ES enema retain so it makes the stone move eraser.

Last time I had to take the oral saline (for my colonoscopy), I mixed it with ginger ale. Went down much easier that way....

Will an enama of oral saline give the same results?

To take oral saline laxative you need to be completely fasting. If you have drunk even a glass of water it is going to be a problem. A tea spoon in a large cup is sufficient to make you go for a whole day.

I tried the Fleet oral phosphosoda laxatives a few times. Besides mixing them with something to kill the taste (ginger ale or lemon lime soda), it's easier to down the thing if you use a straw. Try to position the straw farther in the mouth than you normally would, towards the back of the throat to avoid as much contact with the tongue as possible, to lessen the taste.

I took Fleet phosphosoda for my colonoscopy. Mixed the 4.5 ml bottle with a glass of Fresca. It was like a salty soda ... tolerable. I am wondering what a dose in an enema will do.
