Can I take my bisacodyl tablets at noon the day before my colonoscopy exam?
Yes, it should have done its job by the time the colonoscopy is scheduled for. But please check. Your doctor or whoever is doing the procedure will normally have given you a program to prepare for a colonoscopy. This usually involves a special 'low residue' diet for a few days, ending with clear fluids like jello and consomme the day before the procedure. Included in the preparatory program you should find special laxatives. Don't take the bisacodyl if you have been following such a program, as you will have too much laxative and it can affect the special salts in the body called electrolytes.

What food can you eat in preparation for a colonoscopy procedure?
For the colonoscopy to be thorough and safe, your bowel must be completely empty. So, to prepare for the procedure you may have to follow a clear liquid diet for one to two days beforehand. A clear liquid diet means consuming only: Fat-free bouillon or broth Strained fruit juice (No pulp) Water Plain coffee Plain tea clear soda Sometimes you may be allowed jello and popcicles. The night before the procedure, you will also take one of several types of laxatives (such as Golytely or Fleets Phospho-Soda) This is known as a bowel prep. This is done at least 12 hours ahead of the procedure and after taking this you may not take anything by mouth, not even water. I just wanted to say that your phrase about not drinking anything after taking the prep is not true or was confusing. You are encouraged to drink a lot of clear liquid after taking the prep, to help with the process. Same thing the morning of the procedure-to do the prep again. 2-3 hours before your time of arrival is when you need to stop drinking anything by mouth. Of course the day before and the early morning of (depending on when you are scheduled) you can be on liquids only, and can have Jello, just not with any red or purple dye.
Is enriched pasta OK to eat before having a colonoscopy?
For any colonoscopy, you must spend one full day with no solid food of any kind, the day before the procedure (Jell-o works to fill the gap, though). But prior to that day of fasting, you can pretty much eat normally. To be honest it depends a lot on the protocol of the hospital that you're with. Some hospitals specify only "clear fluids" for three days before a colonoscopy, and laxatives, whereas other hospitals' specify a normal diet, with a lot of laxatives the day beforehand. It's best to consult your gastroenterologist, or the information that you were (probably) provided with pre-investigation, to find out what the protocol is. One of the most commonly followed procedures today is nothing but clear liquids a full day before (Jello qualifies as a "clear liquid") and beginning about 4 PM that day, the ingestion of a half-gallon of Mirilax, which has no taste. The procedure is constantly being improved and modified to make it easier for all concerned, but the procedural directives for the place where yours will be done are the ones you should follow.
