I had to take that super salty stuff prior to abdominal surgery. I can see how it could cause you to gag. I had to plug my nose to drink it.

I can't tolerate the Versed that they use to "relax" you for this kind of procedure. It gives me a heavy-duty hangover. I complained and signed papers at the hospital so they could research what had been used to cause this effect, and after the last surgery (on my foot) I was awake at home that evening. I'll get them to use whatever that was at any future procedures.
