Gatorade and colonoscopy prep


ADZ

Recommended Posts

ADZ Newbie

My daughter is a highly sensitive celiac. She needs a colonoscopy and was told to mix the miralax with Gatorade that is not blue, purple or red. Gatorade currently states that Gatorade contains no gluten content but may be cross contaminated. As she will be drinking 64 ounces of it in a short period of time, I am questioning whether or not this is safe for her to do. Thanks for any information you can provide!

Gatorade is safe. The statement from the supplier really means, "we don't test and can not take legal responsibility if an ingredient is contaminated." Standard CYA stuff.

Gaterade is actually on  the Fasano gluten free diet used for those patients with suspected non-responsive celiac disease.  So, celiac experts think it is safe!

As a celiac, I use blue Powerade (owned by Coca Cola) for my preps  with no issues. Best of luck to you.

The Powerade brand is most likely fine (I have not read the label lately), but they do not want red, blue or purple in your gut at the time of scoping.  It must stain and look like blood or inflammation.   Ever see a kid eating a blue popsicle?  ?

Red was the only color my doc didn't want me to use. Yes, it stains!

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
