What food can you eat in preparation for a colonoscopy procedure?

In the days leading up to a colonoscopy, you will need to follow a special diet in order to clear out your bowels and make it easier for the doctor to see the inside of your colon during the procedure. This diet is called a low-fiber diet.

Here are some foods that you can eat during a low-fiber diet:

- White bread

- Rice

- Pasta

- Lean meat

- Fish

- Eggs

- Dairy products

- Fruits (avoid fruit with skin or seeds, such as berries, grapes, or oranges)

- Vegetables (avoid vegetables with high fiber content, such as leafy greens, broccoli, or corn)

You should also avoid eating any foods that are high in fiber, such as:

- Whole wheat bread

- Bran cereal

- Legumes

- Nuts and seeds

- Popcorn

- Dried fruit

It is important to follow the low-fiber diet strictly in the days leading up to your colonoscopy in order to ensure that your bowels are clear and the procedure can be performed safely and effectively.
