Glad I stumbled upon this. I am aware of alternatives to Gatorade but didn't even think of coconut water so I added it to my prep. Your article reinforced all my decisions for a healthy approach and gave me some comfort to deal with this process. Thank you!
Sooooo grateful I found this. I have to have my first procedure in January and never gave any thought to the ick that's in that prep. Printing the info now! Thank you!!
I got one done two weeks ago. I wish I knew this ahead of time. Although I didn’t drink all those sugary drinks. My doctor gave me the okay to drink herbal teas. Like nettle and milky oat straw tea. Unfortunately I am dealing with inflammation due to h. Pylori. Hence why I had to get the colonoscopy in the first place. I definitely look forward to following your sub stack on healthy recipes to help with my gut health.
Joy, it sounds like you made a good swap with the teas; both are great choices! I am happy you are here and I am happy to provide all the recipes you need as you heal🧡Beth

Thank you for including me in your informative post! I hope more people schedule this important screening procedure.
Thank you so much for your contribution to my post! That is my hope too🧡
Thanks for these helpful tips! Which test did you do to find out about the gene?
Because I have a family history of colon cancer, I did a genetic test (spit test) through my OB GYN doctor and covered by insurance.
My husband is having his next week, so this is so helpful! Thanks Beth!
I’m so glad you find it helpful!🧡
Thank you for this! Do you happen to remember the name of the genetic test you had? There are so many now.
It was through my doctor’s office and it was a spit test, paid for by insurance because I have a family history of colon cancer.
