As long as you perform the GI recommended clean out beforehand, it doesn’t matter.

No, if it is three days before, you should be fine. Just follow the instructions for the preparation, as they are written. Good luck with your colonoscopy!

Your colon needs evacuation at a minimum of 12 hours. What you eat or drink a few days before will be eliminated before the procedure. You must follow the directions given you in the time frame before the procedure.
