A member asked:
I have a pelvic & abdominal ultrasound at 945am. i'm supposed to fast 12hrs before but if i have a vegan protein shake 2.5hrs before is it ok?

Follow directions: I'm not sure why the doctor would want you to fast before an ultrasound. That's a little bit different. Regardless those were the instructions you received so i would follow them exactly as directed.

NO: No 12 hours is 12 hours, food in the stomach and bowel ma obscure the ultrasound which is looking for fluid.
