Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
The point is to do not eat any foods which do contain fiber and other indigestible parts (no matter if its called fruit or vegetable). Zicchini and tomatoes for sure contain such parts. Therefore, he should avoid this products as well.
From the other side, avoiding vegetables for such long time before colonoscopy is not extremely necessary thing. If he has good medicine to get prepared to this test, with or without fiber in diet, he will be able to achieve well prepared large intestine.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
