If you did not know, when you have a colonoscopy you have to take a liquid laxative that basically may or may not make you sick. If it makes you sick, you are supposed to call the nurses line and tell them that way they can give you something else and reschedule your exam.
A low fiber diet for a colonoscopy is things like chicken sandwiches on white bread, Mac and cheese, pasta, corn flakes, hamburger, fries, fried chicken as long as it's cooked in vegetable oil, cheese, milk, eggs, white rice, taco on flour tortillas, pancake, waffles, any kind of meat that isn't fatty or has hard pieces. You can have biscuits and rolls also. Any kind of peeled potatoes that doesn't have skin. You can have butter, oil, no vinegar, no corn.
You can't have fruits, veggies, anything with pulp or seeds. You can't have nuts or popcorn or anything that will stick into the intestines. You also have to avoid red and purple dyes.
You can have soda, water, juice that doesn't have pulp and has been strained.
Follow your pamphlet that was given to you and adjust accordingly.
Sometimes it is hard and if you happen to mess up it is okay.
