A member asked:

I forgot about my clear diet and took dairy 48hrs prior to my colonoscopy. what should i do now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Call your doctor...: ...who will want to know how much dairy you consumed, and how compliant otherwise you were with his/her prep instructions. Appropriate to what they hear, they may ask you to proceed with colonoscopy as scheduled, or reschedule.
