Colonoscopy

I eat an exotic foods diet because I have so many food sensitivities. I need to get a colonoscopy, but how can I do the colon prep without eating something I might get sick from? Has anybody been through this?

They don't let you eat anything before a colonoscopy!!! You can make your own clear broth ahead of time, if you need to. Can you drink white grape juice, honey-sweetened mint tea or homemade lemonade? I was told to drink Gatorade, and would NOT touch the stuff again.

Your doc's office should tell you way ahead of time what kind of laxatives they want you to use, so you will have time to check ingredients and switch, if need be.

Yes, there's not very much you CAN eat in preparation. Broth/bouillion, jello (certain colors only) and clear juices and teas. That's about it.

Hi Laura,

I'm glad you asked this because I'm having the same problem. I'm having one in August and i have many food sensitivities/intolerances also. The last time i tried chicken broth and jello they bothered me. :( I may try them again before the procedure to see if they still bother me. I'm going to check with my Dr. also and see what she recommends and see what prep she recommends also. I have a juicer so i'm going to see if there's anything i can juice. Luckily mine is scheduled for a Monday where i'll be at home on Sunday for the clear liquid diet....heck, it may be just water for me all day Sunday. That'll be tough.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
