No reason not to. You will be given instructions for preparation for your colonoscopy, including fasting (not eating) using a laxative to clean out your intestinal system, and drinking a LOT of Gatorade and apple juice. You need to follow those instructions exactly, or the staff will not be able to do your procedure. You ARE going to spend a lot of time sitting in the bathroom during your prep. Take along a couple of books, and a pack of baby wet wipes. Really.
No, you will be NPO overnight-- nothing by mouth. No milk, no juice, no eggs, no toast, no cereal, e.g. no breakfast. Many doctors will let you take important morning meds but only with a sip of water.
The bowel needs to be at rest. If you eat, it will cause peristalsis, and it can cause nausea and vomiting from the med you'll be given before the colonoscopy.
You must not eat anything.
yes
can you eat yogart the day before a colonoscopy
yes
Prior to a colonoscopy, you will not eat ANYTHING for about 16 hours. You will drink a LOT of fluids and use a laxative to completely empty your colon.
The colon must be thoroughly cleansed before performing colonoscopy. Consequently, for two or more days before the procedure, considerable preparation is necessary to clear the colon of all stool.
Jellow and apple juice and black coffee and tea. :)
to clean the bowel more efficiently
You do not need any special diet before or after a colonoscopy. It is a diagnostic test using a fiber optic camera.
Yes as long as it is fat free broth.
If you are the one performing the colonoscopy, sure. If you are the one getting 'scoped you better ask your doctor. They usually tell you to stop eating solids 24 hours before and give you a gallon or two of something to clean you out that you have to drink before.
No sherbet nor ice cream since they are dairy products.
No, the doctor will not give him Gatorade for preparing for a colonoscopy. At the visit before the colonoscopy, he will be given very specific directions as to what to eat and drink the days and night before. If he follows those, he should be fine after the procedure. Usually clear liquids are recommended, and Gatorade has coloring.
No. You are suppose to be fasting and taking the pill or liquid given to you.
