Don't Cancel: There is no need to cancel the colonoscopy. Just continue the prep and stay on clear liquids the rest of the day. Make sure you just let your gastroenterologist know that you ate red jello so they don't think it is blood if they actually see it. But in reality, that red jello should be long gone by the time you complete your prep.

Im doing colonoscopy prep and the instructions say no red blue or purple colors. Can you eat orange or lime jello even though it has red and blue dye in them?

Colonoscopy scheduled next week. I already go 4 or 5 times a day and barely eat. Should I take the entire prep? I'm afraid of dehydration.

Last colonoscopy was 18 months ago. Had 6 polyps, 1 was a sessile serrated 1.2cm. I switched doctors since. Im scheduled to have a colonoscopy this week. Considering the sessile polyp grew to that size in 2 years. Is a colonoscopy now a good time?
