It's generally advised to avoid pepper and other spices in the days leading up to a colonoscopy, as they can irritate the digestive tract. Before the procedure, patients are usually instructed to follow a low-fiber diet and avoid certain foods that could interfere with the bowel preparation. Always follow your doctor's specific guidelines for diet and preparation before a colonoscopy.
