研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the pattern of flavoring and drinking of laxatives for colonoscopy can improve the experience of patients when they are undergoing bowel preparation for the test.
Investigators hypothesize that patients will have a better experience if patients taste the bowel preparation laxative with and without flavoring and then decide how they want to drink the rest of the laxative since taste preferences vary widely from person to person.

结局指标
主要结局
Overall patients' experience with the bowel preparation process with ratings from 1 (unbearable) to 10 (Pleasant)
时间窗: At the time of colonoscopy
On the day of the patient's colonoscopy, each patient will complete another form regarding their bowel preparation experience. Information gathered will include their ratings of the bowel preparation laxative's taste, ease of consumption, presence or absence of nausea, vomiting, whether they consumed the entire recommended laxative and their overall ratings of the bowel preparation experience.
次要结局
- Endoscopist ratings of the patient's bowel preparation quality using Aronchick scale(At the colonoscopy)
