The present invention provides a method that facilitates lavage of a patient's gastrointestinal tract prior to a diagnostic, surgical or therapeutic procedure. The method may improve patient compliance and hence the effectiveness of pretreatment. In particular, the method ensures that the gastrointestinal pretreatment composition tastes pleasing to the patient. For example, for patients preparing to undergo colonoscopy, the method significantly reduces the salty taste of the bowel pretreatment solution. [Selection] Figure 1 |
