DS is due to have colonoscopy soon. I've heard the prep drink is grim and I'm concerned about getting it down him. (I'm waiting for it to be delivered, so no instructions to read yet). Can anyone advise what they were allowed to take with the drink to get it down easier? After a search on the internet I see that squash and certain flavours of jelly are allowed - really annoyingly DS (4yo) doesn't like fruit flavoured things - doesn't like any sweets like haribo, jelly, Ribena etc. He will drink apple juice and chocolate coconut water (a new thing for us!), not sure if either are allowed. Any tips from anyone whose child has had this? When we met with his consultant he suggested that a small chocolate bar the day before would not do any harm if he was struggling nil by mouth. I was surprised at that.
