How is it ? My OB gave me the orange bottle today at my check up so when i arrived home i put in my refrigerator to preserve the cold taste until my next appointment in 5 weeks

I read online the orange flavor taste similar to Orange Sunkist soda which isn't bad but thicker and much sweeter and were you allowed to eat that morning or afternoon , evening i forgot to ask my ob that question he didn't tell me not to eat so im unsure just thinking about it

Mommy said it made her feel nauseous every time oh how i cant go with out an meal specially in the morning

I have this same test in a couple weeks. They gave me the little orange liquid stuff to put in the fridge too. They said I could eat normal that day but not to eat or drink anything while I drink the stuff until they draw my blood. They even said no ice cubes because it dilutes it. I hope it's not THAT bad!

They said if I "failed" this test, then there would be a fasting test.

I use a midwife and she doesn't use the orange drink. I feel for you ladies. I would have a hard time drinking it.

It wasn't to bad for me, the drink is thick but small. Your supposed to drink it in 5 min, I drank mine really fast though in about 30 seconds.

my friend tried doing it four times, she had to go to the office, drink it hold it down for a hr then they take the test, the first time she did it, she threw up within the hr so she had to do it all over wait a hr then drink it wait a hr but she kept throwing it up, the FOURTH time she held it down. it took her 8 hrs over the course of two different days, she said it was like Orange sunkist but only the surup thick and super sugary. She said it was disgusting... I know i'm sugar intolerence a bowl of ice cream will make me barf so my drs letting me do the fasting test.

Good luck!!! hopefully its not as bad as my friends experience

It's tolerable stuff... but just FYI as far as I know it's not carbonated. A good comparison was that it's like the orange Hi-C, just a little stronger. I had to fast for mine and and the first 20-25 minutes I felt really crappy but progressively better for the rest of the hour and no issue the rest of the day.
