Question
i have to have a colonoscopy soon and i am to use trilyte with flavorpacks.  it looks like it comes with several flavors to choose from, and i was wondering if anyone could tell me which flavor is the best one to use?

Answer
The flavor is totally unimportant except as a mean of making the substance more attractive to you and easy to swollow. So take whatever you like and just use it as intended. That is the intention!The aim of this substance is to clean up your bowel to make it more easy to examine! Good luck!
