Why Should Vitamins Be Avoided Before Going To Colonoscopy?
I'm supposed to be going for my colonoscopy Tuesday. I realized last night that I was not supposed to be taking any vitamins 10 days before. I haven't taken them everyday but I have taken them some days.the vitamins I have taken were calcium magnesium, vitamin d 3, hair nails and skin,and cholestacare. Also co q 10 for a few days. Can I still go for the colonoscopy Tuesday or should I cancel it. Why do they tell you no vitamins? Thanks
