Before a colonoscopy, it's recommended to avoid dairy products because they can be difficult to digest and may lead to bloating or gas. These effects can hinder the clarity of the bowel during the procedure. Additionally, dairy can cause mucus production, which could interfere with the visualization of the colon. Following a clear liquid diet helps ensure a clean and effective examination.
No sherbet nor ice cream since they are dairy products.
