A member asked:
Please answer! what kinds of food/meals can i eat/make before an abdomen ultra sound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't eat: You should not eat anything for about 4-6 hours before an abdominal ultrasound. The food material and extra gas can obscure structures being evaluated, especially pancreas.
