A member asked:

What foods can i eat the day before my colonoscopy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Follow the instructi: Your doctor's office should give you instructions to follow in order to have a good prep. Otherwise your test will be cancelled as the preparation is rigorous and lasts 2-3 days of no solids and using laxatives to clean up your intestines completely.
