If you have booked an advanced date for your colonoscopy, it would be ideal to keep to a low fibre diet 3 to 5 days prior to the date of your colonoscopy. This reduces the fibrous debris in the colon and allows a better clean during the bowel preparation.
Furthermore, the remnant stools, if any, would often be liquid, which can be sucked out by the colonoscope itself.
It is important also to be compliant to the prescribed timing and the volume of the bowel preparation to take. If you are unable to finish the preparation, or vomited the preparation out, please inform the staff prior to undergoing the procedure to avoid having a wasted procedure.
