Essentially, put in the effort and do the liquid bowel prep.
Consider adding flavour drops to your drink, icing it or turn it into a slushie to make it slightly more interesting to drink. The PEG will make the ice crystals slightly more smoother.

replyWell in my country, it's still wildly used for people without renal issues.
Some doctors will say yes, some no. Best bet is to do what your doctor suggests, but at least ask if the pills are an option.
replyI can’t compare the two, but fwiw, in my experience, while the drink is mildly unpleasant it’s only the texture of the drink itself that’s bad and the fact that you have to drink quite a bit of it. It doesn’t taste bad per se (and you can add flavored drink mix to help) and the “purging” part is painless, ie no cramps or anything.
