Colonoscopy prep & candy

[Anonymous]

The Cleveland Clinic website says gummy bears are OK - no red, blue or purple. My doc has decided no breakfast the day before, so something to chew will be very helpful.

This and I usually get several large bowls of Matzo ball soup from Parkway Deli, which I strain and just drink the brother, so delicious! I save the rest of the soup ingredients to indulge on after my procedure. Works every time (sixth colonoscopy, family history).

I ate a ton of clear gummy bears. Plain bagel too. Bone broth.

I was incredibly clean, perfect prep according to doctor.

I read they found some solids like plain bagel in 24 hours actually resulted clearer prep.

A bagel?

Gummy bears don’t dissolve quickly.

Fasting probably isn’t necessary at all: https://www.statnews.com/2024/03/19/colonoscopy-preparation-liquid-only-diet-data-gastroenterologists/
