Navigating Your Diet for a Successful Colonoscopy

4. Food to eat before the colonoscopy

Right before the procedure, you would have to eat certain foods. If you want to be sure, you can ask your doctor which foods are the best. You need to start modifying your diet 3-4 days before the procedure. Do this so your body will be totally free of hard-to-digest foods. An excellent choice for meat would be chicken. Just make sure it's boiled and you don't eat any of the skin. In the days prior to your colonoscopy, you can also eat white fish, white bread, and eggs. Skinless potatoes and eggs are great choices too.
