Bowel prep instructions???? Newbie needs help
I am about to get my first ever colonoscopy. And the prep instructions that have been given to me are very unclear.
My understanding is: I can't have whole grain, multigrain things, nuts, seeds, vegetables/fruit with seeds, popcorn, corn. Beginning 5 days before the procedure. Can I have the fruit and vegetables as long as I don't eat the seeds...??? Can I eat white bread??
Also, the day before I can only have clear fluids and have to do the pico salax thing it says I can have Gatorade but I can't have any dyes?? Is there a clear one out there?? Is the white one acceptable??. And day of I can't even have water. (Procedure is at 8am)
It didn't say anything about alcohol, and said I can't have dairy the day before.
Does anyone have any tips or can share with me any info about their prep?
I have the day off work for the procedure... If anyone thinks I will need more than the one day? Let me know 🙂
Looking forward to getting this over with... However. Am stressed
