I’m sitting here trying to compile a list to get groceries for my upcoming colonoscopy prep. I’m a picky eater, crazy picky, always have been. Mostly, the puffiness is due to a hypersensitivity texture and unknown food allergies and stuff like that, and has developed into a fear of unknown. I’m working on it. But it doesn’t help when I get slapped with super restrictions. Now I’m just staring at the list on the verge of tears wondering how I’ll survive. I realize if I drink water I won’t actually die, but I don’t know what to eat. Ugh. I’m not going to have any strength after this.
I’m going to have to post about it. I’ll have Dan document the diet portion of the prep.
Oh and if you can tolerate it, start the low residue diet a few days before to the make prep easier

Going out of town for Fourth of July, have to start the diet on the fifth for the procedure on the seventh… but that woulda been nice.

I “ate” Italian ices because broths tend to bother me for some reason. If you’re on Pinterest, there used to be a lot of meal ideas or maybe even Google. People get fancy with their colonoscopy diets.

It helped a lot. I keep some on hand for flare weeks too. Also fall under low residue
