Hey everyone,I am scheduled for a colonoscopy in a few weeks,any ideas on what to eat or more precisely drink the day before the procedure? I have done one before so I am familiar with the process ( and that horrendous drink) but I have trouble finding things to drink that make me fill comfortable. I am somewhat hypoglycemic so doing without proten makes me feel light-headed and strange
You're really not supposed to eat anything solid, I think up to 24 hours prior to the procedure. However, you're allowed to eat jelly. The reason they don't advise you to eat is so that your colon is free of feces and totally clear so that they could take clear pictures/videos with the scope as it travels through the colon. If in doubt, sell your doctor's advice.
Hi Bonnie,
Cold gatorade drinks/Vitaminwater helped me a lot.
Good luck with your procedure.
