5 Day Diet Pre Colonoscopy
September 13 2010

Posted on 09/13/2010 12:40:11 PM PDT by Global2010

Ok I know what one can't eat on the 5 days prior to a colonoscopy.

What are some meals we can eat?

How about compiling a list/thread of can chow down on foods/meal for the week prior?

White Bread/Turkey/Mayo is one I can dig.

Broiled White fish w/lemon and smoked salt

If you care to and are a pro at the colon pre week diet mode please list some ideas other than the usual suggestions.

We all now what we can't have the week prior seeds/leafy veggies/celery/fruit (basically things with peels or seeds) red/purple/orange dyes.

And the need to be very hydrated (diet 7up is my choice).

Gatorade clear the colored stuff has the no/no dyes.

BTW this is my 3rd procedure and I am normally a veg/seed diet person so last time I ate too much meat stuff prior and got really ill.

Thanks ahead of time.

One tip the two day prior clean out do not include Tobasco type stuff in that last meal day.

Just as hot coming out as going in.

No matter what you eat, it’s ALL coming out, pretty much uncontrollably, as a result of the procedure ;-)

Why not just eat nothing for five days.
Drink only water?
That’s what I’m doing.

I’ve never heard of the prep lasting that long.

Same here. Actually, the Colon Purge, the day before, was by far, the worst part of the experience. Couldn’t wait for it to end so I could chow down...

Starting two days prior lots of highballs.
Remember the last day mix them with Ginger Ale. :)

Every meal. Three meals a day. For five days. You'll put a hole in the roof.

Oh, I don’t know if that will work. You must drink the stuff (yuk) till you feel like cr*p, then you’ll know you are ready. : ?

Take it from me, don’t take sleeping pills (or tylenol PM) with the stool softener.
