Mixing: Open the pre-measured SuFlave bottle, add the flavor-enhancing packet, and fill with lukewarm or room-temperature water up to the 16 oz line.
Chilling: Cap and shake the bottle thoroughly, then place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour before drinking. Do not freeze it, as it will crystallize.
Dose 1 (The Evening Before at 6:00 PM)
Consumption: Drink the entire 16 oz bottle over 1 hour (drinking about 8 oz every 15 minutes). Using a straw can help bypass taste buds and minimize nausea.
Follow-up Water: 30 minutes after finishing the bottle, follow up with 16 oz of water or an approved clear liquid.
Dose 2 (The Day of the Procedure)
Timing: Prepare and take the second bottle 6 hours prior to your assigned arrival time (which may require waking up in the middle of the night).
Steps: Repeat the same process as Dose 1 (drink over 1 hour, followed 30 minutes later by 16 oz of water/clear liquid).
Dietary Restrictions & Guidelines
Strict Clear Liquid Diet: Stay on clear liquids (water, Gatorade, broth, black coffee, tea, Jell-O) and avoid solid foods.
Avoid Colors & Dairy: Avoid anything colored red or purple (as it can look like blood during the exam). Avoid milk, creamers, or dairy alternatives because they leave a film on the colon wall.
Cutoff Time: Stop drinking all liquids completely 4 hours before your arrival time.
Morning Medications: Necessary medications (like blood pressure or anxiety meds) can be taken with a small sip of water up to the cutoff time. Contact the office if unsure about specific prescriptions.
