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.

Don't you have some close friends you can share this with? Why us? What did we do to deserve this?

Five days? What are you 72 feet tall?
Ate normally until day before, drank the Colon Blow Liquid Formula or whatever it’s called, then just water. I’ve fasted for up to a week with no issues, anyway, so it’s not like one day without food is so terrible.
It’s not that complicated, unless, apparently, your colon is long enough that it can reach to the moon and back.

This is part of Michelle Obama's new colon tour at the White House.

You have fasted for a week? Who are you, John the Baptist??

I’ve only ever had the one day “chemical” cleansing.
I was spent after one day of cleansing and no eating. I was shaking like a dog passing a peach pit by the time it was over and I could eat.

This is the exact photo my doctor gave me from my colonoscopy. I’m suddenly suspicious...

Hum, my husband had this procedure last year and he was on a clear liquid diet for 24 hours. Why five days?

Timely thread - I just took my bisacodyl table 30 minutes ago and will begin drinking the solution in 5 hours for the big day tomorrow.
I'm upset that beer isn't considered a clear liquid - I'd like to pound down a couple tonight.

Don't you have some close friends you can share this with? Why us? What did we do to deserve this? Why risk grossing out his/her closest friends, when he/she can post anonymously here on FR?
The only risk is being the butt of all the jokes.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist the pun)
