Best colonoscopy foods

Same here. I had the light Sprite some just because apple juice has carbs and that Sprite has none. I got sick of water after a while but I knew it was important to stay hydrated.
I had the broth and jello too. Luigi's lemon ice pops 26 carbs per container but let me tell you, it was easily the best thing I got to eat leading up to the procedure.
You might want to post this on the Diabetes forum too!

Slurpees are good and I think they have some diet flavors
Chewing on small ice cubes makes you feel like you are actually eating

UGH, I hate afternoon scopes, as much as I hate the mornings in general I'd rather get my scopes done in the mornings....it's a long time to go without eating and it's exhausting but at least you won't or shouldn't be running to the can all morning waiting for your test to be done.

Good luck, let us know the results you get!

What prep are you doing?

I have my c-scope tomorrow as well...but not till 1:45! never had one in the afternoon in 26 years, yeesh.
I do the gallon PEG starting at 6 this evening. I don't do any pre-scope foods...no food after 1 this afternoon.

Thinking of you tomorrow,

So, we're in the same boat prep-wise and time-wise for the scope...misery loves company, lol.

I do the GoLytely (no flavouring), which is the same as MoviPrep... was originally to do the split, half and the other tomorrow morning, but Icalled and asked if I could do it all in one night. I prefer to sleep...I got the OK.

Cheers to you too!


Oh.....use a straw to drink...each glass in one shot while holding your nose if you get nauseated from the taste. Don't fill your mouth with the liquid...just straight down.

After each glass, fill the next and put the timer for 10 or 15 minutes. It'll take off a bit of the cold, making it easier to drink down.

Moviprep is pretty good actually, drink it really cold, add ice if you have to or keep putting it in the fridge while you drink through it, and use a straw, I've tasted way worse preps than Moviprep, with a straw and kept cold it's not as salty harsh-wise like other preps I've done in the past, and I was instructed to drink 2 full glasses a few hours apart and with the second glass I only got about 1/4 of the way through it before I was finally running clear out my butt and I couldn't drink anymore cuz I was starting to get the gag effect and I still had a cleaned colon.

When I used PicoSilex, as good as it tasted, it didn't clear me out near enough and I struggled all morning with bm's while at the hospital waiting to get scoped.

I like aloe vera juice. It has a natural laxative affect and will start to get things moving. Also like coconut water. All that D is going to make you lose potassium.

Good luck with your colonoscopy. The prep is the worst!

Anew GI eh...wow, I always have mixed feelings whenever I've had a new GI do a scope for the first time on me...hope it goes great for you and you have positive news to share afterwards....enjoy your meal after lol, at least something to look forward too, I usually spoil myself with a yummy restaurant lol.

pb4...all went well prep-wise, but amazing how long peas and corn hangs around in there, ugh..lol.

I was mildly flaring for more than a week anyway, so the timing is good to have this done. It'll be weird to have a new face at THAT end of the procedure. I don't know how he is, so I'm a bit nervous.

I don't think I'll head to a restaurant today since the scope will run really late. I have a hankerin' for my regular breakfast feast....mmmmm. I will thoroughly enjoy it!

Well, off to get ready...it's nice that I have kdragon to share the prep/c-scope day with (so to say), lol.

Yes lol, some of those foods like to hang out for a while hahaha but you got them out now lol! That's too bad that you've been flaring up for a bit now but you're right, the timing is perfect!! I never feel like cooking after a c-scope and I'm always so hungry so we plan ahead of time where our meal will be after scopes then after a little while I usually have a nice relaxing nap.

Here's hoping you and kdragon have great test results from today!!

May the Force be with you.
