    Now that I made the mistake of living too long, my doctor said I needed this a punishment for living. Sounds like sheer hell. This is torture.

    I did it. 3 days before the day, i just had light meals. my mom, prepare rice porridge with ground chicken. Its like a soup, very light salt. No pepper. Toast white bread, slice chicken/Turkey light mayo. On the day, nothing. Just the bowel prep. And it went well. Yay.

    Chicken broth folks, made at home, better than SPRITE. Sprite has too much sugar.

    I’m having one done soon and My Instructions are. A low fiber diet two days before. No seeds or green vegetables. On that night. I’m to drink magnesium citrate after dinner.
    One day before the procedure. I will be on a clear liquid diet. Then the prep that night and the morning of the procedure.

    I literally cannot find anything online on a HEALTHY prep diet. Recommended foods are all crap. I can’t eat like that for four days. Jesus.

      I'm with you; I feel like I'm going to have to make broth and strain it and get out the juicer and maybe pour the juice through a coffee filter.

      Hello. Strained both, well cooked polenta or plain White pasta, skinless boiled or steamed potato, jelly (non red). Tea, coffee, water. It"s a diet plan for short term. It's not supposed to be healthy actually, but to help clean the colon. Greetings. Sorry for my english

    The article by medscape from October 2022 says that if all invitees had gotten a colonoscopy, the purported colorectal death rate would have gone from 3 out of 1000 people down to 1.5 out of 1000 people.
    Does that make colonoscopies worth it? Considering risks of this procedure (observed and not observed), and actions we can take to prevent any cancer to begin with.

    What about egg whites? I have had a gastroenterologist who recommended egg whites the day before the colonoscopy in the morning and after that to start the liquid diet.
