Drink it a bit more slowly. Is he passing all liquid stool yet? If yes, he is on the right track since some liquid stool can be removed during the procedure. If he begins vomiting, call the GI doctor who is on call for further instruction-if his stool is all liquid, the doctor may advise stopping the prep. Best of luck to both of you!

Nausea is not uncommon with colon prep solutions. He should lie down quietly and avoid moving about, other than to go to the toilet for the bowel movements.
