My doc prescribed GoLyghtly for my prep. Stuff tastes so nasty. I am going to request the Gatorade/Miralax combo next

I heard it wasn’t recommended until age 50? I looked into it too.

I didn't get mine till 50, but our family had history of colon cancer, so I should have done it sooner. Even though

My brother (many on here know him as TAI from the early days of CB and the other variants) just finished his last round
