Colonoscopy

Hello,

Sorry posting here for traffic I have a colonoscopy tomorrow and I've been drinking chicken broth but I think I've messed up, it says clear broth and the chicken broth is a yellow like dark yellow colour - have I messed it up? Should I cancel it tomorrow now?

Thanks

I’m no medical professional but I’ve had a colonoscopy and remember drinking broth until I only had to have water . I’m pretty sure it just means that’s it’s a liquid with no pieces of vegetables or meat in it . I did the awful medical drink that clears you out and it sure was efficient, I had a look at the camera footage before I asked for more sedation and it was very clean in there ! Good luck with your procedure!!!

I think it is fine. I was told I could take chicken broth and colour wasn't specified.
