I have a colonscopy tomorrow at 2. i ate one small cup of red jello today. is this okay? what happens since i ate this..will i have to reschedule?

Should be OK: Just continue the rest of the prep. Most likely it will be washed out. The reason most people say no red jello is because it can be mistaken for blood. But if it's washed out with the rest of the prep it will be OK.

OK: You will be fine. Just keep your prep going and show up as scheduled. Just don't eat any more red jello or other red dye containing products.
