Abstract: Disclosed herein are compounds and methods for identifying and quantifying a metabolite or breakdown product of PEG. A sample may be assayed for PEG metabolites or breakdown products using liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. Derivatization of the PEG metabolites or breakdown products within the sample with pentaflurobenzoyl chloride in conjunction with negative chemical ionization mode liquid chromatography optimizes the assay.

Abstract: Described herein are methods, compositions, systems, and kits that effectively deliver a laxative to a patient along with effective electrolyte replenishment by delivering both a laxative and electrolytes via a food item. The food item is prepared by either combining, mixing, or integrating the ingredients that form the food item together with one of or both of a laxative and electrolytes so that the ingredients in the food item either eliminate or significantly reduce the poor taste associated with either the electrolytes or the laxative. Eliminating or reducing the poor taste associated with either electrolytes or laxative, greatly improves patient satisfaction and compliance with ingesting these substances in order to, for example, prepare the GI tract of the patient for a medical or surgical procedure.
