Colonoscopy prep/liquid diet
Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2018 5:33 pm
Hello all!
I’m preparing for my FMT via colonoscopy which is coming up in 4 days. I’ve got 2 questions:
1. During the “liquid diet” phase of the prep, what did you all eat (or drink I should say). Everything listed on the prep info provided by the doctor is full of sugar. I have tried to came as close to completely eliminating sugar as I can the past several weeks. I rarely even drink Gatorade. So far all I have on hand is bone broth. Maybe some Almond milk? The prep paperwork even suggests coffee! Which I haven’t had in quite some time, although I miss it terribly!
2. After FMT it has been suggested to me by some of you guys to help the FMT thrive with fiber. Should this be done through a fiber supplement or through food. Which supplements and/or foods seem to work well?
Thanks again for the continued support and helpful information!
