Is Fruits And Vegetables Intake After A Colonoscopy Safe?
I am having a colonoscopy on Thursday. I know not to eat solid foods on Wed. But, I can not find my instructions and I thought the doctor said no fruits or vegetables on Tuesday. Could this be correct? I will call in the a.m., but I can t sleep thinking about this.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. A few days before the colonoscopy procedure fo not eat whole grains, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or raw fruits and vegetables. So on Tuesday no fruit and vegetables. On Wednesday only clear liquid such apple juice. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
