A member asked:
Abdominal ultrasound tomorrow. no drink/food for 8 hours. does that include no water to drink for 8 hours?

Yes, the usual instructions are nothing to eat or drink by mouth, including water. Sometimes they allow medicines with a little sip of water though. You should clarify that with the doctors office or look for the instruction sheet. Good luck.
