How to maintain electrolyte balance during colonoscopy preparation? should i drink mineral water and sport drinks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Electrolytes: Colon prep is not likely to affect the electrolyte balance of normal adults significantly. Drinking these sport drinks will not hurt you and perhaps help the economy.
