A member asked:

Getting colonoscopy tom, yesterday accidentally ate veggies (approx. 40hrs before scheduled appt) & oatmeal (approx 36hrs before appt). what to do??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

2 suggestions: Why do you need a c-scopy. And yes would postpone the test if not medically urgent. If the colon is not clean, the test may not be complete and all your prep will be in vain. call the GI doc and update them, best to postpone.

Colonoscopy scheduled due to gas/constipation. Right side more gassy. With a twinge in btwn belly button and hip when I sit. Terrified I may have hernia from straining and will get perforation during the procedure. Should I get an ultrasound first?
