Hello,
Before appointment hospital staff will give you instructions for a colonoscopy procedure. One or two days before the colonoscopy, empty colon by laxative or enema kit. Before the procedure, only semisolid diet and fruit juice are taken. Solid food should be restricted. Avoid excess spicy foods. Inform about all medication that you are taking before this procedure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
