Today, I got stuck on a problem. The issue was with reconstituting a GAVILYTE-G solution. Here’s how I finally cracked it.

First, I grabbed the GAVILYTE-G powder and the flavor pack that comes with it. Then, I dumped the contents of the flavor pack into the jug. After that, I poured the powder into the jug, too. It was a bit messy, but I managed.
Next, I filled the jug with lukewarm water up to the fill line. Make sure not to use cold water. Lukewarm water is the key, trust me. I learned that the hard way.
Then, I screwed the cap on tightly. Once the cap was secure, I shook the jug vigorously. I shook it like a polaroid picture until the powder was completely dissolved. It took a bit of elbow grease, but it’s crucial to make sure there are no clumps.
After all that shaking, I popped the jug in the fridge. I let it chill for a while. Drinking it cold makes it a little more bearable.
Additional Notes:
- Make sure you follow the instructions provided by your doctor. They know best.
- Drink the solution according to the schedule your doctor gave you. It’s important to stick to the plan.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of clear fluids throughout the day. Water, clear broth, or sports drinks are good options.
- Avoid eating solid foods, dairy, or anything with red or purple dye.
Finally, I managed to drink the entire solution as directed. It wasn’t the most pleasant experience, but I did it!

So, that’s how I successfully reconstituted my GAVILYTE-G solution. Hope this helps someone out there!
